Supreme Court Increases Sentence for Man Who Impregnated Underage Niece

A Spanish court recently increased the sentence for a man convicted of sexually abusing and impregnating his underage niece. The initial ruling of 10,000 euros in compensation and six years imprisonment was deemed insufficient by the Supreme Court, which increased the compensation to 50,000 euros while maintaining the prison term. The case has sparked outrage among legal professionals, with one lawyer stating, "The initial sentence was a clear example of a lack of proportion between the proven facts and the compensation granted." He further emphasized the importance of ensuring that sentences reflect the gravity of such crimes. The case highlights ongoing debates about appropriate sentencing in sexual abuse cases and underscores the need for stricter measures to protect minors.
