What is People v. Atop: Rape Case Ruling about?

The Supreme Court affirmed the conviction of Alejandro Atop for three counts of rape but modified the penalty from death to three terms of reclusion perpetua. The Court found that the prosecution failed to prove that nighttime was deliberately sought by Atop to facilitate the rapes. It also held that relationship was not an aggravating circumstance because Atop had no blood or legal relationship to the victim. The Court ordered Atop to pay the victim indemnity and moral damages.
