Abstract

Being a victim of a crime against sexual indemnity causes, in any person, without a doubt, serious health consequences, physical, sexual, psychological, even more so, not receiving any type of state response, aimed at repairing the damages caused, to the

extent possible, is usually even more re-victimizing. In this sense, the general objective of this investigation is: To argue how the Ecuadorian State, from its role as guarantor, can and should assume the comprehensive reparation provided in an enforceable sentence in favor of victims of sexual crimes when there is no possibility that the person declared criminally responsible will comply with the obligations imposed by the comprehensive reparation, thus avoiding the victim's rights being left without any reparation. To achieve this, a qualitative research methodological approach is used, supported by scientific methods such as analytical-synthetic, inductive, comparative and exegetical, concluding that the State, in its role as guarantor of people's rights, has failed the victim of sexual crimes in its protection and citizen security and that, given the impossibility of immediate execution of comprehensive reparation, it must assume comprehensive reparation.
