A new sex crime law has led to lesser sentences for more than 1,000 imprisoned offenders.
Five men were convicted in the gang rape of a teenager at the San Fermin bull-running festival in 2016.
The new law on sex crimes, dubbed “only yes is yes”, was approved in reaction to the public outrage caused by the case. But its unintended effect led to more than 1,000 imprisoned offenders having their sentences reduced, forcing the government to apologise to victims of sexual abuse. However, it also set lighter minimum sentences for certain sexual crimes – the result of merging the crimes of sexual abuse and aggression – inadvertently benefitting some convicted criminals.
