What the clickbait title omits:<p>&gt; Because the 14-year-old victim was unconscious, the five were convicted of a lesser charge of sexual abuse. [..] The Barcelona court sentenced the five men to 10 to 12 years in prison,<p><i>Ten years</i> in prison is no slap on the wrist, so I don&#x27;t see why I should be upset that they call it &quot;sexual abuse&quot; instead of &quot;rape&quot;.<p>Edit: Watching the accompanying video, it manages to maintain the deception that the men went unpunished even longer. But I was unable to find their names or mugshots anywhere.
