Vicente Sanz is on track to face a minimum of nine years in prison. So says the judge investigating the case against former secretary general of Radio Television Valenciana (RTVV). The judge stated in a recent order: "While so far the facts could be framed within the crime of sexual harassment, whether the statements of the injured as forensic reports and other evidence gathered in this instruction, it draws enough prima facie evidence the possible implementation by Vicente Sanz Monlleó of acts that undermined the sexual freedom of the injured, made by obtaining the consent was vitiated by have availed the alleged author of a position of superiority manifested that limited the freedom of the victims. "He adds:" The facts may constitute a crime of sexual freedom punishable by imprisonment for more than nine years. "Therefore, the judge has transformed the pre-trial proceedings in summary.
Vicente Sanz, who has a restraining order of the three journalists from Channel 9 that reported by the abuse, obscenities, threats and humiliation allegedly suffered for almost two years, was charged for alleged sexual harassment. This offense is punishable by fines and up to one year. Now the judge has preliminarily assessed as has hitherto been available (the statement of the complainants, the accused, eight witnesses, forensic reports and artwork). This is not a mere suspicion of a situation of harassment committed by one who was responsible, among other things, and for 15 years, human resources regional television, but sexual abuse.
The definition of the two articles of the Penal Code to which the magistrate receives is clear. The sexual abuse is committed without violence or intimidation and without consent, carrying out acts against sexual freedom or indemnity from another person. He says further: "When sexual abuse consists in vaginal intercourse, anal or oral, or objects for some of the first two tracks, the offender shall be punished with imprisonment from four to ten years. "This refers precisely to the judge, so help forensic report also supports the veracity of the testimony, to warn the defendant that he could face a sentence of more than nine years, since the offense is continued. A Sanz will judge, in principle, a panel of the Court of Valencia .
The RTVV former secretary general, has changed as a lawyer, is "temporarily" ceased their functions. I decided the general director, José López Jaramillo, pending to testify as a witness, who has refused, despite the development of the procedure, to make permanent the cease and open a case to clarify what happened. Moreover, the opposition said a few days ago that there is an obvious risk that is retired by Vicente Sanz RTVV: it has just turned 64 years last 18 days, and you would be entitled to a compensation of 120,000 euros, at a minimum.
opening the file by determining it would be very serious about it. But for now, López Jaramillo, has not done. The Labour Inspectorate, which came a few weeks ago, is aware. Unions and opposition have asked Lopez Jaramillo a forcefulness that has not been able to exercise, at least so far, "We can talk of a victim's emotional state compatible with a situation of sexual harassment." That's the conclusion of the forensic report, and recognize that each of the three victims are able to testify and that no one personality disorder. However, in all three cases, observed changes in anxiety and depression-like behavior as a result of the events that claim to have lived. These facts, as stated in the report, in two cases accounted for even handle suicidal. The report is the result of an examination conducted by the Institute of Forensic Medicine Legal. No valuation is not its function, the events that led to open the case. Ni values, and expressly stated, the credibility of testimony given by one person. Is an assessment of their condition and a picture of what concerns the facts which allegedly has been committed. The state in which the three victims were found is consistent with having been sexually harassed. The forensic report relates to sexual harassment because when he was commissioned to cause pre-trial phase, was open for that offense and not another.
The three victims had to retell the same facts as reported and explained to the judge in his statement. Contradictions are not appreciated. No variations.
The offense, abuse, threats, humiliation, sexual conduct of the accused cut both gestural and verbal and visual, have never been the constant story of his ordeal. And along with it, the detail of how they felt, what they have lost, how they have lived, what they feared, why could not stop it. In the three common is the feeling of loneliness, fear for themselves and their families, of submission to a power that manifested itself as absolute.
