Overview

  • The case is being heard in Morón, where Santiago Martínez faces charges that include attempted homicide aggravated by gender violence, unlawful deprivation of liberty, and repeated minor injuries.
  • Ceco recounted that during her appearance in court Martínez clenched his hands, scratched his legs, bit his lip, and punched himself, which she perceived as threatening.
  • She said she could not remain for his statement and was treated by ambulance personnel after nearly fainting and vomiting.
  • According to Ceco, the defense cast her as the aggressor, a claim she rejected while noting the physical size difference between them.
  • Ceco also described lasting eye discoloration from broken capillaries she attributes to blows, and the case has drawn unusual attention because the pair met on Love Is Blind Argentina.
