They also understood that the victim had difficulty defending herself and that the crime occurred in the presence of her son or other family member. These circumstances increased the convict's sentence. When defining the sentence, the judge took into account factors such as the defendant's background, the motivation considered irrelevant and the serious damage caused to the victim. As the crime was not completed for reasons beyond the convict's control, the sentence was reduced as provided by law for attempted cases.
