SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Nov. 17 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Criminal Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands (TSJC) has rejected the appeal filed by a man against the sentence of the Provincial Court of Santa Cruz de Tenerife that condemns him to 35 years in prison – he will serve 20 as maximum – for sexually abusing his two daughters and a second niece, in a timely manner, and for the payment of compensation of 130,000 euros.
The man has been convicted of the crimes of continuous sexual abuse, sexual abuse of minors and sexual abuse of minors under 13 years of age and the events occurred in the municipality of La Victoria de Acentejo.
In one of the cases, the events took place between 2001 and 2009, until the daughter was twelve years old and taking advantage of the visitation regime since the man had separated from his wife.
The touching and penetration occurred regularly on Wednesdays and weekends in the car, in an office that was not used and in the family home itself, to which was added the reproduction of pornographic videos.
At all times, according to the sentence made public this Wednesday, she told the minor that she could not tell anyone, especially her mother, and that it was “a secret” between them.
With his other daughter, born from a second marriage, he had a similar behavior, and was subjected to touching and penetration since she was three years old, and when she began to resist, he drugged her with benzodiazepines.
In addition, and in 2013, taking advantage of the fact that the daughter of a cousin spent the night at his house, he kissed her on the mouth and performed various touching.
As a result of these events, the minor, 10 years old, presented symptoms of anxiety and depression and low self-esteem.
The convicted person is also given the sentence of probation for ten years and the prohibition of approaching the victims within 500 meters.
