If the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation concludes, based on the evaluations performed, that the convict in a penal institution is rehabilitated, he/she shall issue a certification and, in consultation with the Secretary of Justice, shall file an application on behalf of the convict before the court to the effect that the remainder of the sentence involving restriction of freedom be deemed as served. It shall be a requirement for the issuing of said certification that the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation receive a psychological evaluation and recommendation stating that the convict is capable of living in the free community and that the other professionals who evaluated him/her submit detailed written reports on their findings regarding the rehabilitation of the convict, especially that there is no longer any risk of danger represented by the crime for which the convict serves the sentence. To be eligible for this procedure, in first degree felonies the convict shall have served at least twelve (12) years of imprisonment and at least eight (8) years in the case of a minor tried as an adult. In second degree felonies, the convict shall have served in prison at least fifty percent (50%) of the sentence imposed by the court.

Said evidence shall necessarily contain the certification of the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation duly justified by an evaluation of the integral adjustment and social conduct of the inmate during imprisonment and his/her compliance with the rehabilitation plan. If the court decides in favor of the certification of rehabilitation, it shall order the Police Superintendent not to include the conviction in the penal record certificate, but to register it in the convict’s criminal records only for purposes of recidivism.

Any father or mother who, without legal excuse, fails to comply with the obligation imposed by the law or the court to provide child support for minors shall incur a misdemeanor. (a) When paternity is not in dispute. — When the accused has accepted his paternity before the court prior to the trial, or when paternity is not in dispute, the trial shall be held and, if the accused party is found guilty of failure to comply with the obligation to pay child support, the court, through resolution, shall fix a reasonable amount for child support, admonishing the accused party that the failure to comply with said resolution without legal excuse may be punishable as civil contempt. (b) When paternity is in dispute. — When the accused denies paternity, the court shall grant said party a term of not more than ten (10) days to answer the allegation and shall immediately hold a trial in which the rules of evidence in effect shall be followed. Within five days of having heard the evidence, the judge shall rule on the paternity and, if proven, shall draft a minute and order the corresponding resolution, and shall also fix the amount of child support to be provided for the child. (c) Other procedural provision. — After the preliminary proceedings set forth in the subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the case shall continue to be heard based on the allegations of noncompliance with child support and the ruling shall be issued on this allegation. The court has discretion to suspend the effects of the sentence if it deems it necessary for the well-being of the minor. The accused may appeal an adverse ruling on the paternity and on the noncompliance with the obligation to pay child support in a single action. Hearings on these cases shall have preference in the calendars of courts of appeals. The appeal of any sentence or order issued under this section shall not suspend the effects of the resolution that orders the payment of child support, and the accused has the obligation to deposit at the Office of the Clerk of the Court of First Instance the amount fixed for child support. At the request of an interested party, the court, after hearing the testimony of both parties, may authorize the Clerk to make available the fixed amounts to the obligee until the court decision is issued. In the case that the ruling is in favor of the accused, the obligee shall have the obligation of returning the sums consigned by the obligor. In the cases in which the court ruling confirms the sentence of the appealed court, but reduces the amount to be paid for child support, the difference between such amounts shall be credited to the obligor in the future payments to be deposited for the benefit of the obligee. If the obligor fails to comply with the established payments, hearing shall be held and if there is no justifiable reason for non-payment, the court shall dismiss the appeal. When the sentence is final, the court shall issue an order accompanied by a certified copy of the writ of acceptance of paternity or of the determination of paternity issued by the judge, directed to the person in charge of the Vital Statistics Registry for said person to register the minor as child of the obligor with all other details required in the birth certificate for all purposes and effects. In all actions pertaining to this section, including hearings for failure to comply with the order to pay child support, the public interest shall be represented by the Department of Justice.

For the purposes of this subchapter, the following terms or phrases shall have the meanings stated below: (a) Indecent behavior. — Means any of the physical activities of the human body, whether performed alone or with other persons, including but not limited to singing, speaking, dancing, acting, simulating, or pantomiming, which could be considered in whole by the average person and, according to contemporary community patterns as: (1) Appealing to the lewd interests, that is to say, a morbid interest in nudity, sexuality or physiological functions; (2) representing or describing sexual conduct in a patently offensive manner, and (3) lacking serious literary, artistic, political, religious, scientific or educational value. The enticement of behavior towards lewd interests shall be judged in the light of the average adult, unless it arises from the nature of such behavior or the circumstances of its production, presentation or exhibition that it is designed for groups of sexual deviates, in which case, the predominant enticement of the behavior shall be judged in the light of the group towards which it is directed. In proceedings for violations to the provisions in this section in which the circumstances of production, presentation or exhibition indicate that the accused is commercially exploiting the obscene behavior for its lewd enticement, such circumstances shall constitute prima facie evidence that it lacks any serious literary, artistic, political, religious, scientific or educational value. When the prohibited behavior is intended for or in the presence of minors, it shall be sufficient that the material is directed to awakening a lewd interest in sex. (b) Sexual behavior. — Comprises: (1) Patently offensive representations or descriptions of consummated sexual acts, whether normal or perverted, actual or simulated, including sexual relations, sodomy and bestiality, or (2) patently offensive representations or descriptions of masturbation, oral copulation, sexual sadism, sexual masochism, lewd exhibition of the genitalia, stimulation of human genitalia with objects designed for such purposes, or scatological functions, even if such conduct is performed individually or between members of the same sex or of the opposite sex or between humans and animals.

(e) Obscene material. — Means material considered in its entirety by an average person and upon applying contemporary community standards: (1) It appeals to prurient interest, in other words, a morbid interest in nudity, sexuality or physiological functions; (2) it represents or describes sexual behavior in a patently offensive manner, and (3) it lacks any serious literary, artistic, political, religious, scientific or educational value. The enticement of lewd interest in sex in the material is judged in the light of the average adult unless it arises from the nature of the material, or the circumstances of its diffusion, distribution or exhibition that it is designed for groups of sexual deviates, in which case said attraction shall be judged in the light of the group toward which it is directed. In proceedings regarding violations to the provisions of this section in which the circumstances of the production, presentation, sale, dissemination, distribution or advertising indicate that the accused is commercially exploiting the material for its lewd attraction, which proof shall constitute prima facie evidence that it lacks any serious literary, artistic, political, religious, scientific or educational value. When the prohibited behavior is intended for, or is in the presence of minors, it shall be sufficient for the material to be directed to awaken lewd interest in sex. (f) Child pornography. — Means any representation of sexually explicit behavior, any act of masturbation, sadomasochistic abuse, real or simulated sexual relations, deviate sexual relations, bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism, acts of sodomy or the exhibition of genitalia performed by persons under eighteen (18) years of age.
