There is a before and after the early morning of July 7, 2016. The group rape of an 18-year-old girl by five men in Pamplona, during the Sanfermines, overturned the social perception of sexual violence and transformed the legal system and the way of explaining and understanding machista violence. The aggressors themselves, a group of friends who called themselves "La Manada" (The Pack), recorded the rape images and shared them in a WhatsApp group as if it were the trophy of that night, in a gesture of toxic male complicity.

From the outset, we fully acknowledge the difficulty of judging cases like that involving former Barça player Dani Alves, who was convicted in the first instance of rape and now acquitted by the High Court of Justice of Catalonia. In a case like this, in which the events occurred inside a restroom without witnesses, the key ultimately lies in the credibility of the protagonists' account. The Barcelona Court did believe the complainant, and also made something very important clear about what could be seen in the images recorded at the nightclub: "The fact that she danced suggestively, that she moved her buttocks closer to the accused, or that she was able to embrace him does not suggest that she was offering her comfort."
