Emily Ceco Seeks Phone Seizure After Santiago Martínez’s Jailhouse Denial

The move seeks to curb digital revictimization following his social media statement from custody.

Overview

  • Soon after the convicted ex–reality show participant posted a denial from jail, Ceco’s lawyer filed an urgent complaint asking the court to seize his phone, cut his internet access, and issue disciplinary measures.
  • Santiago Martínez remains detained after receiving a 15-year sentence for attempted femicide, unlawful detention, and repeated injuries against Ceco, following a trial in which prosecutors had sought 16 years and a proposed abbreviated plea was rejected.
  • In her first comments after the verdict, Ceco said the ruling felt reparatory and that the court heard her, yet she voiced fear about what could happen when Martínez is released.
  • From custody, Martínez acknowledged some wrongdoing but denied intending to kill, claimed experts found only minor injuries and no risk to life, and alleged a falsified signature in a later filing, assertions reported as his claims and disputed by the other side.
  • The case drew intense attention because the couple met on Love is Blind Argentina, and coverage has now turned to how courts police online harassment after sentencing in high-profile gender-based violence cases.
