According to the prosecutor, the videos clearly show the complainant “taking Alves’ hand and going to dance with her cousin.”
It was a terrible effort for her to explain what happened. She was absolutely affected and devastated when talking about the sexual assault.
The defense asks ‘if they were uncomfortable, why didn’t they leave?’. No woman in a normal situation thinks that a sexual assault will happen in a nightclub. If there hadn’t been the aggression, they would remember him as a disgusting man who danced with them. – Elisabet Jimenez, prosecutor at the Public Ministry of Spain.
As for whether they kissed or not, what the victim says (on the police camera) is ‘he started kissing me and I said I wanted to get out of there’. Daniel Alves may have kissed her, she may have kissed him, but if at any point she said ‘it’s over’, it’s over.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office disregarded alcohol as a mitigating penalty, claiming:
“The minimum sentence of 4 years is only applicable to other, less serious cases.”
