The court accused the defendants of failing to report a crime and homosexuality, in addition to failing to report a crime and benefiting from a service in exchange for money, this is the charge that weighed on the adoptive mother of the minor, who was included in the file on the condition of being released with the second defendant, who was sentenced only to six months.
