Overview
- Stella “N” was bound over for trial in Saltillo after a private, six‑hour hearing where prosecutors alleged she used her children to inflict emotional harm on their father, Jhonny Robles.
- The court ordered precautionary measures that include monthly signing at a Colima court and a ban on approaching Robles and the children, modifying an earlier period of home detention.
- The judge set a two‑month window for complementary investigation under Article 251, which allows penalties of six months to six years and potential limits on parental rights.
- Defense attorneys rejected the accusations, highlighted a prior ruling that declined to bind her to process for lack of evidence, and said they will seek to overturn the measures.
- Civil society responses are split, with fathers’ groups calling the case a precedent and feminist organizations arguing the law’s gaps enabled a misapplication and signaling plans for legal review.
