The General Council of the Judiciary estimates that currently 646 sex offenders have benefited from the law of only yes is yes. According to legal sources reported to EL MUNDO, in the count of revisions of sentences -and reductions- requested by the governing body of judges, it is stated that the Supreme Court has submitted 26 sentences for review, of which ten have concluded with reductions sentencing sexual offenders. In the case of the High Court, it is striking that of the ten sentences with sentence reductions, in seven cases the victims were minors and the aggressors were pedophiles or pedophiles, a particularly alarming figure given the vulnerability of the victims.
On the other hand, Council sources admit that there is no exact number of the procedures submitted for review in the Provincial Courts of our country, but of those reviewed so far, 599 have resulted in sentence reductions and 64 of them have led to their release. .
In conclusion, all the Provincial Courts, except Ávila (where there has been no reduction) and Asturias (where the CGPJ does not have data) have reduced sentences for sexual assaulters or abusers.
For their part, the Superior Courts of Justice have so far reduced 37 sentences for crimes against sexual freedom, one of them involving release. All the TSJ have currently reduced sentences except Aragon, Cantabria and the Valencian Community (although the CGPJ does not have the data for Castilla y León at this time of day).
These data reveal that in application of the new Law designed by the Government of Pedro Sánchez, 65 releases of sexual offenders have been agreed in the last five months in our country.
This is the provisional balance made by the governing body of the judges that days ago agreed, on the one hand, to collect the number of reductions in sentences for sexual offenders thanks to the Law approved by the Ministry of Equality and, on the other hand, decided carry out an in-depth study to determine how the different courts in Spain are applying the new criminal legislation that is more favorable to the accused.
However, carrying out this second, more exhaustive analysis of the data from all Spanish courts will take weeks or even months, legal sources indicate.
