Prosecution Demands 13 Years in Prison for Rapper ‘El Jincho’ in Rape Case. The trial begins in Valencia for rapper ‘El Jincho’ and his associate. The prosecution accuses them of sexual assault after a concert and has requested 13 years in prison for each.
The trial of rapper ‘El Jincho’ and another musician, both accused of sexually assaulting a young woman after a concert in November 2023, begins Thursday before the Fourth Section of the Provincial Court of Valencia. Prosecutors are seeking 13 years in prison for each defendant. The case was reported by elDiario.es and EL PAÍS.
The alleged incident followed a performance at Sala República in Mislata. Information from the prosecution, the woman went to the hotel where the musicians were staying and entered one defendant’s room. He allegedly proposed an intimate encounter. After she refused, he continued to insist, and she agreed out of fear, prosecutors allege. She later went to the second musician’s room, where prosecutors also allege she was sexually assaulted. These are accusations to be examined at trial, not findings of guilt.
The case falls within Spain’s legal structure for sexual offenses, shaped by Organic Law 10/2022, of 6 September, on the Comprehensive Guarantee of Sexual Freedom. The law placed consent at the center of the legal structure and reorganized the distinction between sexual abuse and sexual aggression. Organic Law 4/2023, of 27 April, later amended sentencing provisions. The alleged events took place in November 2023. The prosecution’s request is not a court ruling, and the court will determine the defendants’ guilt.
The proceedings have drawn attention because of the defendants’ public profiles and the setting of the allegations: a concert followed by a gathering at the musicians’ hotel. The case also comes amid broader public debate in Spain about sexual violence and the protection of people reporting such offenses. Recorded-offense statistics describe reports to authorities, not convictions, and do not establish what happened in any individual case.
The trial will examine the allegations against the two musicians and the evidence presented by the parties. The court will determine the outcome. The prosecution’s request for 13 years’ imprisonment for each defendant is a proposed penalty, not a sentence.
