The TSJPV has confirmed the 20-year prison sentence imposed on the man who assaulted a 6-year-old boy in Gipuzkoa
In early 2025, the Gipuzkoa High Court sentenced the man to more than 20 years' imprisonment and the child's mother to almost two years' imprisonment for allowing the assaults.
The High Court of Justice of the Basque Country has upheld the sentenceof 20 years, 6 months and 15 days' imprisonment imposed by the Gipuzkoa High Court on aman in 2025, convicted by the Gipuzkoa High Court of sexual assault and ill-treatment of the son of the man's partner between the ages of six and seven.
The High Court of Justice of the Basque Country (TSJPV) has also upheld the one-year and nine-month prison sentence imposed on the child's mother for allowing the man to attack the child, knowing that he was beating her.
The court has issued a statement stating that the proceedings have been dismissed against the judgement of the Gipuzkoa High Court.
The defendants alleged an error in the assessment of the evidence, a violation of the right to the presumption of innocence, and the absence of fair and objective evidence to justify the convictions.
On the other hand, the High Court of Justice of the Basque Country has ruled that the Gipuzkoa High Court included in its judgement "a set of evidentiary elements" which "clearly justify" that the injuries suffered by the minor were not caused "accidentally or accidentally".
He also points out that there has been strong reasonable evidence to determine the punishment, while denying that the right to the presumption of innocence has been violated because "the sentence has sufficient motivation ".
In the case of the mother, the new decision confirms that all the evidence used by the Court of Gipuzkoa to convict her is correct.
