Five men were acquitted of rape because their 14 year old woman was unconscious at the time.
A Barcelona court ruled Thursday to charge the men with a lesser crime of sexual abuse and sentenced them to jail for 10-12 years and a $12,000(euros) fine.
The ruling was based in the fact that their act could not be considered sexual assault since the girl had been drinking and doing drugs before she became unconscious, and that is a requirement for rape conviction in Spain.
The deputy prime minister Carmen Calvos says she doesn’t normally comment on court decisions to make modifications in the law to make it clear that consent is necessary for relations to occur legally.
Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau other politicians and feminist group are waiting to get the law strengthened to the victim.
