Alicante couple jailed for offering drugs to a minor in exchange for sex

The Alicante Court sentenced a 35-year-old woman and a 37-year-old man to two and one year in prison, respectively, for the crime of corruption of children, which involves giving a kid a dose of a drug in exchange for sexually abusing her.

Following an agreement with the prosecutor’s office that eliminated a claimed criminal against public health, the two defendants confessed the facts at the start of the hearing, indicating that the trial did not need to be continued.

Both defendants were found guilty of the crime of corruption of children by the Second Section court that heard the case. They were also ordered to pay the victim 6,000 euros in joint and severally compensation.

According to the sentence, both approached the girl, who was 17 at the time, and offered to have her as the victim of the attack in exchange for a dose of an unidentified narcotic on March 29th, 2022, in Alcoy.

The penalty includes a five-year restraining order of 500 meters from the victim, six further years of supervised release, a 12-month fine for the accused at the rate of four euros per day, and a two-year prison sentence for the lady and a one-year sentence for the male.
