Asamblea Nacional. Proyecto de Ley No. 641, Código Penal, aprobado el 13 de noviembre 2007
CAPÍTULO IV
CIRCUNSTANCIAS QUE AGRAVAN LA RESPONSABILIDAD PENAL
Art. 36. Circunstancias agravantes
[...]
11. ***Prevalimiento en razón de género**. Cuando el hecho realizado se ejecuta
aprovechándose de una relación de dependencia, autoridad o afinidad,
para causar perjuicio a otra persona en razón de su sexo; ya sea que
deriven esas relaciones del matrimonio, unión de hecho estable u otra
relación de afinidad o laboral, y aún cuando la relación hubiera cesado.



Your context:
Prevalimiento en razón de género:
Cuando el hecho realizado se ejecuta aprovechándose de una relación de dependencia, autoridad o afinidad, para causar perjuicio a otra persona en razón de su sexo; ya sea que deriven esas relaciones del matrimonio, unión de hecho estable u otra relación de afinidad o laboral y aún cuando la relación hubiera cesado. El aumento de la pena no podrá superar, por ningún motivo, el máximo establecido para el delito cometido.

Undue influence by reason of gender: When the act is carried out taking advantage of a relationship of dependence, authority or affinity, to cause damage to another person by reason of his or her sex, whether these relationships derive from marriage, a stable common-law union or another relationship of affinity or work, and even when the relationship has ceased. The increase in the penalty may not, for any reason, exceed the maximum established for the crime committed.

I also found "undue influence":
https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/el-abuso-sexual-con-...
Prevalimiento is acting with undue advantage, **undue influence.**
We recently had a case of a girl being raped by five men, this was the sentence:
La Audiencia Provincial de Navarra ha dado a conocer ayer el fallo del caso conocido popularmente como La Manada en el que se condena a los cinco jóvenes como autores de un delito continuado de abuso sexual con prevalimiento.

  -> Thanks so much David. You are too kind. What I prefer to do is agree with yours (as it is fine), and perhaps an alternative could be "undue influence" (I am not sure what the rest of Manuel's text says and how that fits into his overall context!).
