Leaving home today for Almudena (fictitious name to preserve her identity) is not an option. “I can’t get out of bed, Sara. The judge looked me in the face on Wednesday and apologized for what happened. “She made me believe that, while waiting for this case, my attackers would go to prison,” laments the young girl, now 24 years old, in statements to Sexta.
At least four of the six shameless people accused of prostitution of minors They will not serve time behind bars. The young woman learned of it, like the rest of the Court’s decisions, through the press. “And that’s why I showed up in court on Wednesday?” asks Almudena. “After everything I’ve had to go through these days. You know it well. I have been in psychological treatment for ten years – which I pay for myself -, I have learned to live with this pain. But “We cannot forget these foul-smelling hands, these faces.”
Hopes in vain
Almudena is one of the victims of the Murcia minor prostitution network. 10 years ago, at the age of 14, she was recruited and prostituted with ten other girls by three women, Ruth Karina DT, Nelly CP and Yesenia Mercedes BCleaders of the largest underage prostitution network in Murcia to date.
Last Wednesday, October 2, she and the rest of the victims were summoned to the Section 3 Court of the Murcia Provincial Court: they wanted to know the opinion of the victimson the agreement that the prosecution had concluded with the accused. Thanks to this, pimps and harlots were spared from going to prison. The 13th.
At least five of the eleven victims expressed their rejection before the judge present that day. They demanded prison for their attackers. All that remained was to wait. Today, the same magistrate who heard his request and the very one who apologized to the victims for “the delay” in the (non-)trial of their case and for being, in addition, “victims of the system”, decided, with the rest of the Court , that Some of the people accused of this prostitution ring will not go to prison. Tomorrow Tuesday, it’s the others’ turn.
“They released the person who raped my daughter”
“They freed the one who raped my daughter,” it is Almudena’s mother, Juana (fictitious name to preserve her identity), who speaks: “Because I am more human than all of them, Sara, but If I could, I would.” kill him. It killed him. “The justice they didn’t give us in court, I would take it myself.”
Juana can’t believe it. She feels helpless and alone. How you have felt over the past ten years. “I no longer know how to help my daughter and the rest of the girls, Sara,” she laments. “What if I appear as a private prosecutor? »he asks. “Is it possible now?” he continues.
For now, they just have to trust the prosecution: at the last minute, and thanks to social pressure regarding the ridiculous sentences they have given to whores and pimps, they will appeal the decision of the court. This is what the public prosecutor communicated this morning to the magistrates.
It is worth remembering that they are appealing a final sentence handed down, after all, by themselves. The agreement reached, by which all the accused are released from prison, would not have been possible without the acceptance of those who were responsible for defending, they say, the eleven girls victims of the Murcia prostitution network.
