Jose Maria Lopez, sentenced to fifteen months in prison as the perpetrator responsible for a crime of sexual abuse against Carlota Prado, has decided not to appeal the sentence imposed by Criminal Court No. 18 of Madrid. It should be remembered that the events occurred in “Big Brother Revolution”, a reality show in which both participated.
As reported by ‘El Confidencial’, the sentence is already signed after the former contestant did not present any type of appeal before the Provincial Court of Madrid. Nor have the Prosecutor’s Office or Zeppelin TV, the producer responsible for the contest broadcast on Telecinco, objected to the judicial decision. that she has been sentenced as subsidiary civil liability for the crime and for showing the recording to the victim.
The aforementioned sentence will be executed once the case passes to the criminal execution courts and the corresponding file is opened. In addition, it is very likely that José María López will not enter prison as it is a sentence of less than two years and no criminal record.
Distancing and isolation
José María López has also been sentenced to four years of separation and incommunication with the victim. In addition to an amount of 6,000 euros as compensation for the moral damage caused to the young woman. As reported by ‘El Confidencial’, Zeppelin Televisión SA, the producer responsible for the Telecinco reality show, will also have to answer for this amount as subsidiary civil liability.
The producer must also respond jointly and severally with Chubb European Group LTD, the insurer, with one thousand euros to Carlota Prado as “compensation for the additional non-pecuniary damage caused by informing the victim of the crime of sexual abuse to which he was subjected”.
Carlota Prado files a new lawsuit
Carlota Prado has made a move again, starting a new process against Mediaset and the reality show workers who were present on the night of the proceedings for an alleged omission of relief. The young woman maintains that the crime was “recorded and made as one more content of the show”. “They made a montage of different cameras that they later showed the declarant. She says that after that, they let her go back to the house where the program was being made and they did not give her enough psychological support, ”says the lawsuit.
