In my opinion, the aggressor of legal age should have been put in prison for a while, even if he had no prior record, it is a sexist aggression with robbery and violence. The minor's prosecution will not do anything to the minor aggressor, a scolding and for home, the victim was beaten with fists and kicked by the two aggressors in the face and body, there will be injuries such as bruises, who says that Are they not going to do it again if the judge on duty has not even looked at the Catalan lgtbi law? What if we are not gay we are not entitled to a sentence for serious violent crimes? We are women, trans women and we have the right to walk anywhere in peace. This sentence is a shame.
