In the trial, which took place between February 5 and 7, The Prosecutor’s Office requested nine years in prison for Alves and the private accusation, twelve.
The room, which applies the mitigating factor to repair the damageconcludes that it has been proven that Alves “suddenly grabbed” the victim, threw her to the ground and, preventing her from moving, raped her, “despite the fact that the complainant said no, that she wanted to leave.”
