Image: AP/PA Images A GROUP OF five men who were found guilty of sexual assault have now been found guilty of gang rape, and handed and extended prison sentence, by Spain’s Supreme Court.
They said that, in accordance with legal precedent, the attack could be classified as rape, which was aggravated by being performed in a group. The case brought widespread criticism from women’s groups after the first court agreed to study a defense detective’s report on the woman’s behavior after the incident, which some said made it appear the victim was on trial.
