BARCELONA CATALONIA, SPAIN - FEBRUARY 22: The lawyer of Dani Alves' victim, Ester Garcia, before attending to the media outside her office, on 22 February, 2024 in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The Barcelona Court of Appeal has sentenced the footballer to four and a half years in prison for sexually assaulting a young woman in a toilet of the Sutton nightclub on December 30, 2022. The sentence has been handed down applying the first version of the 'only yes is yes' law, prior to the reform that toughened the penalties by raising the minimum number of years in prison for this crime. The 'yes is yes' law reformed the Penal Code and stipulated penalties from 4 to 12 years for sexual assault crimes. (Photo By David Zorrakino/Europa Press via Getty Images)
