Image captionA Barcelona court's decision to acquit five men accused of gang-raping a 14-year-old girl of the charge of sexual assault has provoked outrage.
A review is currently taking place in Spain to decide whether to base rape cases on a woman's explicit consent to sex. Prosecutors told the court the men - two Spaniards, two Cubans and one Argentine - took turns to attack the girl, who was under the influence of alcohol and drugs. All the defendants denied the allegations, although the DNA of one of them was found on the girl's underwear.A similar case sparked fury in Spain, and was later overturned by the Supreme Court
The court eventually awarded the victim €12,000 damages for an attack it described as"extremely severe and especially denigrating".
