The Criminal Court Number One in Jaén has sentenced a 36 year old man to a total of two years in jail on two counts of sexual abuse of an eight year old girl. However, the sentence has been suspended on the condition that the man commits no further crimes during that period.
The case relates to incidents in July 2010 when the victim, then eight years of age, and her parents spent holidays in a country house with the accused and his family.
On at least two occasions, the accused was alone with the girl while the others were either swimming or taking a siesta, and during these times he satisfied his led desires by sexually abusing the girl.
The accused was sentenced to one year in prison on each count of sexual abuse, banned from going within twenty metres of the girl or communicating with her for two years. The parents waived compensation as they had already been satisfied in this respect.
The court decreed that the sentence be suspended for two years on condition that the accused does not commit any further crimes during that period.
