Abstract:
The present paper aims to answer the following question: To base a criminal
conviction on sexual crimes only on the victim's word. Analyze and question current
jurisprudence, which gives the word of the victim greater probative value, especially
in sexual crimes, especially since, as a rule, these crimes are practiced sneaky. To
answer the research, it is questioned: Is it worthy for the individual as a human
person, to be condemned having only the victim's word, and the criminal procedure
disposes of all the evidence necessary for the conviction? To do so, we will analyze
criminological doctrines, scientific articles and legislation.
