• Seven men responsible for sexually exploiting teenage girls in Murcia will face no jail time.
• Three members of the prostitution network will also avoid jail.
• 'Undue delays' mitigating factors were taken to significantly reduce their sentences.
• The sentence is the result of an agreement between the Prosecutor's Office and the accused, concluded in September.
• None of the 11 minor victims were present as accusers in the trial or were informed of the agreement until it was already firm.
• Some of the victims chose to 'turn the page' and did not object to their exploiters not facing jail time.

Conclusion: Despite its legality, this outcome represents a failure of the justice system that leaves victims unprotected and reinforces a feeling of injustice in society. It highlights the need to improve the gender perspective in justice and repair processes to prevent revictimizing victims.
