Two DJs from Ghent nightlife sentenced to conditional prison term for multiple rapes on appeal

Two DJs from Ghent's nightlife have been convicted on appeal for multiple rapes after initially being acquitted due to insufficient evidence. The appeal court found that some rapes, including that of a sleeping girl, were proven. The judges emphasized that a sleeping person cannot give consent and criticized the DJs for abusing their popularity. One DJ was convicted of three rapes, while the other received a conviction for four. They are prohibited from contacting the victims and using drugs. The lengthy investigation contributed to their conditional sentences instead of actual imprisonment.
