Chilean senators slam penalty reduction for sexual predators, urge correction

Senators from Chile's Bío Bío region publicly condemned a reduction in penalties for sexual predators, calling it a mistake and urging the government to correct it. The criticism follows a BBCL Investiga investigation that revealed the names involved, and includes a senator recalling that the president, as a candidate, had accused the Boric government of treating criminals with leniency. The development signals a domestic political controversy over criminal justice policy, with potential implications for government credibility.
