The supreme Court of Cassation on
Thursday rendered definitive a conviction for sexual abuse that
led to a girl to commit suicide, 17 years after the abuse
started.
The top court dismissed the final appeal by the defendant, a
50-year-old Peruvian national, and upheld a sentence of three
years, six months.
The hearing was held just days before the case would have
timed out.
The convicted man was the girl's step father.
He had sexual relations with her from 2000, when the girl was
11, until 2003.
