Villa was denounced in April 2020 by Cortes through photos of injuries published on social media, and later repeated her allegations before the local court.
"I resolve to sentence Villa Cano to two years and one month of conditional imprisonment... for coercive threats with minor injuries in the context of gender violence," said the court ruling.
The sentence announced by Judge Claudia Davalos in the correctional court number two of Lomas de Zamora is less than three years which under Argentinian justice means it is suspended rather than being served in prison.
