Two years ago, an18-year-old was allegedly gang-raped at the Running of the Bulls festival inSpain.

据报道，两年前，一名18岁的女孩在西班牙奔牛节期间被轮奸。

One night, thewoman told police, five men in their mid-20s offered to walk her to her car.But instead of accompanying her to the vehicle, they pinned her against a wall,told her to “shut up,” then took turns sexually assaulting her. One man evenstole her phone before they left, she alleged.

一天晚上，这位女士告诉警察，五名25岁左右的男子提出带她去她的停车处，但他们没有陪她到车上，而是把她压到墙壁上，并叫她“闭嘴”，然后轮流侵犯了她。其中一人甚至在他们离开之前偷走了她的手机。

The woman was laterfound curled in a fetal position, crying in “a distraught state.” She went tothe police, who made arrests the next day.

这名女子后来被发现蜷缩着，并“心烦意乱”的哭着。她找到警察，警察第二天便实施逮捕行动。

The subsequenttrial in what has been called the “Wolf Pack” case, named for a WhatsApp groupof which the defendants were members, consumed Spain's attention for nearly twoyears.

随后的审判中，这一案件被称为“Wolf Pack”，这也是犯案人员所在WhatsApp 讨论群的名字，这起案件在西班牙审理了近两年的时间。

Much of the trial revolved around short videosthe defendants took of the woman during the attack. In the clips, the woman isseen in a “passive, submissive stance,” with her eyes closed. The men'sattorneys said this was evidence that she'd consented. They also pointed to areport compiled by a private investigator who secretly followed the victim inthe days after the incident. He took pictures of her smiling and laughing withfriends — evidence, the defense team said, that the woman had not beentraumatized.

庭审大部分都围绕着被告在袭击中对该女子所拍摄的简短录像。在剪辑中，女子的眼睛闭着，处于“被动、顺从的姿态”。被告辩护律师说这是她同意的证据。他们还出示了一份由私家侦探编写的报告，该报告是事件发生后的几天内，秘密跟踪受害者的汇总资料。他拍下了她的微笑以及和朋友们一起笑的照片，辩护团队说，这些证据表明这名女子没有受到精神创伤。

The woman's attorneys pushed back against theidea that she had offered her “consent.”

受害人辩护律师反对“她同意”的这种观点。

“The defendants want us to believe that on thatnight they met an 18-year-old girl, living a normal life, who, after 20 minutesof conversation with people she didn’t know, agreed to group sex involvingevery type of penetration, sometimes simultaneously, without using a condom,”prosecutor Elena Sarasate said, according to the Guardian.

据《卫报》报道，“被告希望我们相信，那天晚上他们遇到了一个正常的18岁女孩，在与她不认识的人交谈了20分钟后，便同意在不使用避孕套的情况下群体性行为”，检察官Elena Sarasate这样说。

The judge did not allow the jury to consider theWhatsApp chats among the men, who texted “us five are f---ing one girl” and“there is video” shortly after the attack. In other chats, the men joked aboutdrugging women, then raping them. One even shared video of one of the menassaulting another woman, who appeared unconscious.

法官认为陪审团不应考虑这些人在WhatsApp中的聊天记录，案件发生后不久，他们发短信说，“我们五个人上了同一个女孩”和“这是拍摄的视频”。在其他聊天中，一个男子开玩笑说要给女人下药然后侵害她们。其中一个甚至分享了一个男人侵犯另一个看上去处于昏迷状态女人的视频。

 

On Thursday, the men were acquitted of sexualassault, a charge that includes rape. They were found guilty, instead, of thelesser charge of “sexual abuse” and sentenced to nine years in prison. (Thewoman's attorneys had sought 22 years.) Each man must also pay the woman about$12,000.

星期四，包括强奸在内的指控被认定无效，这些人被无罪释放。之后，他们再度被认定为有罪，不过，取而代之的是较轻的“性侵害”指控，仅被判处九年徒刑。（这个女子的律师找了22年）每个人也必须付给这个女人12000美元。

That is not nearly enough for many in Spain. Inthe wake of the verdict, tens of thousands of people have taken to the streetsin protest. Holding signs declaring, “It's not sexual abuse, it's rape,”activists rallied in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia Pamplona and Alicante. Anonline petition calling for the disqualification of the trial's judges hasgathered more than 1.2 million signatures.

这对大多数西班牙人来说远不够。判决之后，数万人走上街头抗议，拿着“这不是性侵犯，而是强奸”的标语，活动人士在马德里、巴塞罗那、瓦伦西亚潘普洛纳和阿利坎特举行集会。一份呼吁取消审判法官资格的网上请愿已经征集了超过120万个签名。

State prosecutorssay that they will appeal the ruling.

州检察官称他们将对判决提出上诉。

Even Spain's national police force came outstrongly for the woman, tweeting “No is no” a dozen times shortly after theverdict.

就连西班牙国家警察部队也强烈支持这名女子，判决结果公布后不久，他们便在推特上发了十几次“拒绝”。

 

Meanwhile, politicians have promised to rethinkSpain's laws on sexual violence. Right now, a victim must prove that aperpetrator was violent or intimidating to gain a rape conviction. Many women'srights activists say that sets the bar too high.

与此同时，政客们承诺重新考虑西班牙关于性暴力的法律。现在，受害者必须证明犯罪者使用暴力或恐吓等手段，以使他们获得强奸定罪。许多女权活动人士说，门槛太高了。

An editorial in the newspaper El Paisnoted that violence or intimidation can be hard for survivors to prove. It“leads to the painful question of just how much a person needs to fight toavoid being raped without risking getting killed, and still get recognized as avictim of a serious attack against sexual freedom while ensuring that theperpetrators do not enjoy impunity,” the newspaper said, according to atranslation by Agence France-Presse.

《国家报》的一篇社论指出，对于受害者来说很难证明自己经历过暴力或恐吓。这“导致了一个痛苦的问题，即受害者往往需要冒着被杀害的风险才能避免被侵犯，而受害者对抗性侵犯的努力却常被认为是对性自由的严重攻击，此外还要确保犯罪者无法逍遥法外，”该报称道，由法新社翻译。

“The government has been, is and always will bewith the victims,” íñigo Méndez de Vigo, a spokesman for the government, toldreporters.

“政府过去，现在以及将来都站在受害者立场，“政府发言人íñigo Méndez de Vigo告诉记者。

Sexual assaults have plagued the Running of theBulls festival. Women routinely report being groped, or worse. At the 2015festival, a British woman was allegedly assaulted by a group of men in abathroom.

性侵犯已经困扰了公牛节的运行。妇女通常会报告被性骚扰，或是更糟的情形。2015年的节日里，据称一名英国女子在浴室被一群男子袭击。

When someone is being raped, they go into shock, which means theirbody can be collapsing, shutting down to try to survive. This may have looked likepassive acceptance, but I assure you it is not. It has happened to me. Thecourt should have made sure to get testimony from psychologists and otherprofessionals who understand what happens to the body in that situation...
I am appalled by the ignorance of the court...

当人被强奸的时候，他们会休克，这意味着他们的身体会崩溃，这是为了自我保护。这看起来像是被动的接受，但我向你保证它不是，因为这事在我身上发生过。法院应该确保得到心理学家和其他专业人士的证词，他们知道在这种情况下身体会发生什么……
我对法院的无知感到震惊……

The basis for this was that there was no intimidation - even thoughthe five of them had dragged her into a windowless 2.7x1 meter room. She was 18and thin - they were over 25, one of them a member of the military and another apoliceman. At one point in time she was yelling in pain while she was beingheld against the wall by two of the rapists.
They videotaped themselves raping her and sent these videos over tothe other members of “the pack”. The gang member who’s a policeman took hermobile and chucked away the sim card so that she could not react immediatelyafter they left her half-naked lying on the floor. She was also raped orallyand anally. 15 times in the space of 11 minutes.
But incredibly no intimidation therefore not rape. The court doesnot elaborate on how on earth they came to the conclusion that there was nointimidation in these circumstances, something astounding given the actualfacts of the case.
Not to mention the judge (this trial was conducted by a 3-judgepanel) who, in his dissenting vote, actually says in writing they were all justhaving a bit of fun.
Btw, all of the above facts are actually “proven facts of the case”as formulated by the sentence.
Disgust and outrage only begins to describe what any decent humanbeing must feel about this.

这样做的基础是没有恐吓——尽管他们五人把她拖进了一个没有窗户的2.7×1m的房间。她才18岁并且很瘦弱，而他们都25岁以上，并且其中一个是军人，另一个是警察。有一次，当她被两名强奸犯挡在墙边时，她痛苦地大喊大叫。他们录下了自己亵渎她的录像，并把这些视频发给了“the pack”的其他成员。这伙人中的那个警察带走了她的手机，并把她的sim卡扔掉了，这样她就不能在他们离开她时立即做出反应。11分钟内她被侵犯15次。但难以置信的是法官认为施虐者没有恐吓因此不能算强奸。法院没有详细说明他们是如何得出结论的，在这些情况下没有恐吓，这件事着实令人震惊。
更不用说法官（这项审判是由一个三审陪审团进行的），在他的反对票中，他们实际上在书面上说他们只是有点乐趣。
顺便说一下，所有上述事实都是“事实证明的事实”。
厌恶和愤怒只是开始时描述任何一个正派的人对这个问题的感受。

It's not rape unless there's violence or intimidation?
And being shoved against a brick wall isn't violence?
And being surrounded by five men isn't intimidation?

这不是强奸，除非有暴力或恐吓?
被推倒在砖墙上不是暴力吗?
和被五个人包围不是恐吓?
