During the reading of the verdict, the presiding judge stated that it “was not proven” that the defendant committed the crimes against one of the victims, nor “the daily regular sexual abuse” alleged against the remaining 10 students, as claimed by the Public Ministry’s (MP) prosecution.
The court found that the victims’ testimonies were “credible and consistent”, acknowledging that the main challenge during the trial was determining the “number of times” the students were abused by the defendant, “who apologized to the victims and admitted to the more serious crimes”.
