The Limassol Court of Cassation today imposed concurrent prison sentences, the longest being ten years, on a 47-year-old man in connection with rape offences committed against his estranged wife.
According to a statement, the Court of Cassation referred to the seriousness of this particular offence, indicating that rape brutally offends the dignity and personality of the victim and constitutes the worst form of humiliation of a human being.
He pointed out that this type of offence is not only against morals, but also offends and sometimes crushes the personality and psyche of the victim and therefore, it should be dealt with severely, given the finding of an increasing tendency to commit it.
