After stripping her of her belongings, he dragged her to a secluded place under death threats. The victim recounted that, after being beaten, bitten, and attempted to be strangled, the aggressor stripped her of her clothes to commit the sexual assault.<\/p>\n\n<p>The attack ceased only when Louis fled upon perceiving the presence of third parties nearby. The woman, despite her critical state, managed to reach the main road where she received help from local residents, who transported her to a health center to receive immediate medical attention.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Judicial sentence<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The court declared Jilio Louis guilty of the crimes of violence against women and sexual assault.<\/li><li>The conviction is based on articles 309-1 and 331 of the Dominican Penal Code, with their respective modifications.<\/li><li>Although the Public Prosecutor&#8217;s Office requested a longer sentence for the charges of torture and barbarity, the court set the sentence at 15 years of imprisonment.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p>This sentence closes a judicial chapter marked by violence, highlighting the importance of forensic technology in the resolution of sexual assault cases in the province of Santiago.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justice in Santiago: Man sentenced to 15 years in prison for assault and sexual assault The Fourth Collegiate Court of Santiago handed down a 15-year prison sentence against Jilio Louis, a Haitian national, after he was found guilty of committing acts of sexual violence, physical assault, and robbery against a woman in the community of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":167652,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12809],"tags":[13047,5042,2553,5336],"class_list":{"0":"post-167651","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-national","8":"tag-conviction","9":"tag-justice","10":"tag-santiago","11":"tag-violation"},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=167651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167651\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/167652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=167651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=167651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
