A Mexican judge has freed a wealthy young man accused of abducting and sexually assaulting a schoolgirl, on the grounds that the perpetrator did not enjoy himself.
Diego Cruz, 21, was one of four young men from prominent families in the coastal state of Veracruz who were nicknamed Los Porkys on social media after they were accused of seizing a classmate from their elite private school as she left a New Years party on 1 January 2015.
In a ruling which was made public on Monday, Judge Anuar González found that although Cruz was accused of touching the victims breasts and penetrating her with his fingers, he had acted without carnal intent and so was not guilty of assault.
González also found that although the victim, who was 17 at the time, was forced into the car of one of her alleged attackers, she was never helpless. Two of the other three suspects are accused of penetrating the victim.

(36,101 posts)1. Privileged, grabbing the private parts of girls, not paying for his actions?
Sounds like a future president in the works.

That shouldn't be "freed", it should be "convicted of the lesser included charge"

I've never heard of a sexual assault being begrudged
Judge was clearly bribed.
