An Aruba prosecutor has requested a 30-month sentence for a 63-year-old defendant in a case involving alleged offences against a minor, according to Diario. The defendant denies the allegations.
Prosecution requests partly suspended term
The prosecutor asked the court to impose 30 months of imprisonment, with 10 months suspended and a three-year probation period.
The allegations concern conduct said to have occurred between October 21, 2022, and September 5, 2024. No identifying details about the minor are included in this report.
Defence disputes sufficiency of evidence
The defence argued that the evidence was insufficient and asked the court not to impose the prosecution’s requested sentence. It proposed a conditional sentence or community service as an alternative.
The court had not issued a verdict at the time of the source report. A ruling was scheduled for October 19. The allegations remain unproven unless and until the court reaches a judgment.
