The Third Collegiate Court of the National District ruled 30 years in prison to the three men prosecuted for attacking 19-year old Yocairi Amarante and causing permanent damage to her face and body with devil’s acid on 27 September 2020. Amarante lost vision in her right eye, more than 50% of the vision in her left eye, and her right nipple. Hypertrophic scars caused by the acid run down her neck, chest, breasts, arms, and legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willy Antonio Javier Monegro, main accused and former spouse of the victim; Pedro Alexander Sosa Mendez and Joan Jose Feliz, were convicted of causing severe burns to the young woman in different parts of her body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attorney General Miriam German had instructed the prosecutors to treat the assault with devil\u2019s acid as an act of torture and barbarism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judges Arl\u00edn Ventura, Milagros Ram\u00edrez and Leticia Mart\u00ednez sent the accused to serve the sentence at the 15 de Azua jail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosecutors revealed that Javier Monegro had contracted the job paying RD$25,000 to the accomplices that disfigured the young woman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amarante Rodr\u00edguez spoke to BuzzFeed News about the men who attacked her with acid, the recovery process, and her hopes for the future \u2014 which include opening a salon with money that influencer and singer Cardi B gifted her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
