If vaginal, oral or anal penetration occurs during the sexual encounter, then it is defined as rape.
The sentences for committing sexual assault are very severe, in line with the heinous nature of the crime: where there is no penetration, a person charged with sexual assault may face up to ten years in prison; in case of penetration, it can be as high as fifteen years, the same as in the case of homicide.
This crime becomes even more repugnant when a victim is assaulted by a group of individuals, commonly known as “gang rape”. In these cases, sentences can be even tougher if a series of aggravating circumstances are present.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][mk_button_gradient dimension=”flat” size=”large” corner_style=”rounded” grandient_color_from=”#45b7d4″ grandient_color_to=”#45b7d4″ url=”https://patonyasociados.com/en/contact/” align=”center” el_class=”max400″]IN NEED OF A LAWYER WHO SPECIALISES IN CASES OF SEXUAL ASSAULT?[/mk_button_gradient][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_padding_divider][mk_custom_box background_hov_color_style=”image” elevation_effect=”true”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mk_image src=”https://patonyasociados.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/p6-1.png” image_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][mk_fancy_title size=”18″ font_family=”Ubuntu” font_type=”google”]WHAT TO DO IF…[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1569432753842{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]If a woman has gone through the traumatic experiences of being raped, the first thing she must do is rush to a hospital so she can be examined, and the injuries she likely has can be treated.
She can also call the police, who will appear immediately at the location indicated and can accompany her to the hospital.
Family members and friends of the victim must talk as soon as possible to a lawyer to guide them through the initial steps in this particularly traumatising situation.[/vc_column_text][/mk_custom_box][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_padding_divider][mk_custom_box elevation_effect=”true”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mk_image src=”https://patonyasociados.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/p7.png” image_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][mk_fancy_title size=”18″ font_family=”Ubuntu” font_type=”google”]EXAMPLES OF SEXUAL ASSAULT OR RAPE
