Victim advocates criticized the eight-and-a-half-year sentence as mild following revelations that Fernando P. filmed 34 separate attacks on his wife and shared the footage in chatrooms, building on earlier findings that he drugged, raped and distributed videos of her abuse between 2018 and 2024.He was arrested in February 2025 at the school where he worked after journalists with STRG F uncovered a network of Telegram channels hosting instructions and the footage, and the trial—held largely behind closed doors—allowed the victim to testify publicly, a process praised by her lawyer Nicole Servaty for giving her a voice.
