Questão jurídica principal
Whether the sentence violated Art. 47 CP by relying on irrelevant mitigating factors
Decisão extraída
Yes. The cantonal court used legally irrelevant considerations when fixing the sentence, namely the victim’s intoxication and her post-assault apparent consent.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 47 CP, sentencing must be based on the offender’s culpability and the legally relevant criteria. A victim’s apparent consent formed after coercion does not reduce the seriousness of the offence, and intoxication can only mitigate if it amounts to a qualifying provocation under Art. 48 CP, which was not established here.
