The Supreme Court (TS) has prevented an abuser, convicted of gender-based violence, from attempting to evade the execution of this sentence through a gender change.
The Supreme Court also sets a precedent by stating that, even if the registration modification is made before the crime is committed, it is not valid if "intent to defraud the law" is proven.
It states that men who change their sex after committing a gender-based violence crime can be tried as men.
The ruling defines the doctrine of “law fraud”, noting that such changes “cannot be used to circumvent criminal responsibilities arising from specific regulations protecting women”
The accused tried to revoke a nine-month prison sentence for beating his ex-partner with the argument that he had changed sex more than a year after the events.
A man convicted of assaulting his ex-wife in Castellón claimed before the Supreme that he had changed his sex and asked to annul the sentence.
