## Two-year sentence and €6,600 for non-material damages
The Audiencia de Palma court sentenced a Hungarian man to **two years in prison** for a sensual assault committed at his home in Puigpunyent. The ruling sets total compensation of **€6,600** for the non-material damages caused to the victim. Of that amount, **€3,000** had already been deposited by the defendant before the trial; the remaining €3,600 is added to the sentence. The prison sentence was suspended.

The case has an economic dimension that is not limited to the compensation. The mitigating circumstances applied —reparation of the damage and undue delays— reduced the Prosecution's initial request of seven years in prison. The case was stalled for reasons beyond the defendant's control. That procedural delay, acknowledged by the court, had direct consequences for the sentence.
