Editorial: El Mundo

• The High Court of Justice of Catalonia has acquitted former footballer Dani Alves of a sexual assault charge.
• The decision effectively discredits the Government's 'yes means yes' law, which relies on the woman's testimony.
• Contradictions in the young woman's account coupled with objective evidence, resulted in her lack of credibility.
• The ruling does not prevent a woman from revoking her consent during any act, but that there was no evidence that this happened.
• The unanimous decision was made by a mixed tribunal.
• The call for gender training for judges was made by Minister Bolaños.
• The public reaction to Alves' cold and dismissive behavior is understandably outraged.

Conclusion: This case highlights the need for concrete evidence in delivering a verdict in a justice system that protects the innocent, even at the risk of absolving some guilty individuals.
