Fury as new consent law, which was passed last month, is used to allow offenders to request sentence reductions
Spain has blamed “machismo” among judges after a new consent law was used to release rapists from prison early.
The law was introduced after the infamous “Wolf Pack” case in 2016, in which five men raped an 18-year-old woman at the Pamplona bull-running festival.
The “yes means yes” law came into effect last month, but at least four sex offenders have used it to leave jail early.
A lawyer for one of the five men convicted of the Wolf Pack attack revealed he was working to get a reduced sentence for his client. A further eight abusers have won sentence reductions, according to Spanish media.
