Prosecutor's Data Underestimates Sexual Assault Sentences

The Prosecutor's Office reported 145 sentences in 2023, while an academic investigation found over 575 sentences were issued based on data from the Judicial Documentation Center. This discrepancy raises concerns about the reliability of the Prosecutor's Office's statistics on sexual violence.
