Finland gang rape: Cuban volleyball players jailed
Print Edition
FIVE members of Cuba’s national volleyball team were jailed yesterday in Finland for a gang rape that took place during a Volleyball World League championship in July, a district court said.
Four players, including 27-year-old team captain Rolando Cepeda Abreu, Abrahan Alfonso Gavilan, 21, Ricardo Calvo Manzano, 19, and Osmany Uriarte Mestre, 21, were handed five-year prison sentences for aggravated rape.
A fifth player, Luis Sosa Sierra, 21, received a shorter sentence of three years and six months, while a sixth teammate was acquitted of the same charge.
The Pirkanmaa district court said the Finnish woman, whose identity was not disclosed, met some of the players at a nightclub located in the basement of the hotel where the Cuban team was staying during the tournament in the southern town of Tampere on July 2.
She later agreed to go upstairs to Mestre’s room and the two had sex, at first with her consent. But Mestre then invited Manzano, followed by his other teammates, to the room without her consent, the court found.
According to the prosecutor, Mestre, Manzano, Abreu and Gavilan “in hotel room 923 had together and in mutual understanding forced (the victim) to several acts of sexual intercourse by means of violence and by taking advantage of (her) fear and state of helplessness.”
The charge sheet revealed they had also filmed and photographed parts of the attack.
