On Wednesday, the Lithuanian Supreme Court intends to announce a possible final decision in the case of beatings and rape of a minor from Jurbarkas.
“The daughter defended herself by screaming. When she defended herself, he said, “I will kill.” He threatened to kill her, ”said the adolescent father about the terrible events of the night of May 2019.
In this resounding case, the Tauragė District Court sentenced a minor who had been convicted of attempted rape, sexual assault and health disorder to a final sentence of three years and four months in prison, whose execution was also suspended for three years.
The Klaipėda Regional Court, which heard the case on appeal, imposed an additional obligation on the convicted person to participate in the conduct correction program for one year and doubled the amount of non-pecuniary damage awarded to the victim.
This verdict of the port city court has formally entered into force, but has been appealed to the Supreme Court by both the prosecutor and the victims. They wanted the child to be given a real custodial sentence: the suspended sentence was lifted.
As reported by the Prosecutor’s Office, in the cassation appeal it was alleged that the courts of first instance improperly applied the criminal law by unreasonably discerning the sincerity in the confession of the convicted person, which recognized his responsibility as a mitigating circumstance and unjustifiably applied a suspended sentence.
“Telling the truth in the process cannot be considered a sincere conduct, which justifies the exercise of the right to defense, and the application of the suspension of the sentence, even to a minor, must be adapted to the nature and gravity of the crimes committed and to the conduct of the perpetrator. behavior, “said prosecutor Aurelijus Stanislova.
The preliminary investigation began in May 2019, when a minor was injured at a rural tourism farm in the Taurag distrito district. The guy who committed the crime was drunk at the time of the incident.
The case was heard in private in all judicial instances.
