Overview
- A Salta court found the longtime Ballet Salta director guilty of sexually abusing her grandson and imposed a 10‑year prison term.
- The victim, now an adult, reported that the abuse began around age 10 and continued for seven years; he filed a criminal complaint in June 2022.
- Prosecutor Nayla Delgado advanced the case through interdisciplinary expert examinations, witness testimony and hearings that led to the verdict.
- Ballet Salta said in a formal communiqué that the sentence is not final, appeals are underway and Jiménez remains free while complying with procedural obligations.
- Judicial authorities must still decide the mode of enforcement given her age, as the case roils Salta’s arts community and the victim and his father publicly welcome the ruling.
