This case concerned sexual abuse involving an underage victim. The Court ruled in accordance with Articles 135.1 and 135.4 of the Criminal Code, on sexual abuse of minors, finding the defendant guilty and sentencing him to eight years in prison.

For such purposes, the defendant used to pick up the plaintiff at school and drive her to secluded areas to have sexual intercourse.

The case concerned domestic violence and resulted in a one-year prison sentence pursuant to Article 229 of the Criminal Code. The plaintiff filed a complaint with the police, alleging that three days earlier, at approximately 6:00 A.M., her husband punched her and threatened to kill her during an argument. The evidence showed that this violence was not an isolated incident, but part of a continuous behavior by the defendant.
