Resum
After reviewing the literature on how the criminal justice system deals with sexual victimization of children, the article presents the results of a quantitative study of judgments rendered by several Spanish courts in 2011 and 2012. We evaluated the influence of different variables related to the victim, the offender and the offence on the courts' decisions. The study, based on 420 cases, proves that previous relationship between victim and perpetrator and victims' age are relevant predictors of judicial decisions. The results also validate the early statement of victims in the criminal proceeding as effective evidence.
