The latest round of outrage in Spain, could finally prompt a change of the country's law around rape

Five men have been acquitted of rape, on the grounds their 14-year-old victim was unconscious at the time of the 2016 attack.
In Spain, violence or intimidation need to be involved for someone to be convicted of rape... and the court ruled the men didn't need to use either because of the girl's state.
Spain's deputy prime minister Carmen Calvo says it's now their priority to change the law to make it clear consent is necessary.
