The former mayor of Ștefăneștii de Jos commune, Ionel Robert Ștefan, was sentenced by the Bucharest Tribunal to 9 years in prison for repeated rape in a case involving the sexual exploitation of a 13-year-old girl. The acts for which he was convicted took place in June 2018.

The court ordered that the time spent in pretrial detention and house arrest, between February 2022 and February 2024, be deducted from the sentence. The former mayor was acquitted of assault or other acts of violence and of one of the charges of influencing statements. In the case of another such act, the criminal proceedings were terminated because the statute of limitations had expired.

According to DIICOT, the minor was allegedly recruited through the “Loverboy” method, then coerced through threats and violence into having sexual relations with several men. Four other people were also convicted in the case, receiving sentences ranging from 7 to 18 years in prison.

The Bucharest Tribunal’s decision is not final and may be appealed. The girl did not seek compensation, and the court also rejected the prosecutors’ request for damages to be awarded.—?Final? Sorry no.

Need valid JSON. But response generated malformed due thought. Must final corrected.

This is still awkward but exact. Need only JSON.

Use that.

No, must output exactly JSON.

Final now.
