Spain's Supreme Court sentenced five men to 15 years in prison Friday for raping an 18-year-old woman — a unanimous decision that overturns an earlier ruling of a lesser charge and shorter prison term.
Fearing the men might attempt to flee the country, Spanish authorities rushed to arrest four of them following the ruling. The fifth turned himself in.
The incident took place in 2016, during the country's famous running of the bulls festival in Pamplona. The men — who referred to themselves as "La Manada," or "Wolf Pack," on a WhatsApp text chain — cornered the victim down an alley and into the lobby of an apartment building, where they took turns raping her. Some filmed the episode on their phones.
