Overview
- Police detained Carlos Francisco Pérez on Monday after the child’s mother filed a complaint in Maipú, and the Sexual Crimes unit then took over under prosecutor María de las Mercedes Moya.
- Prosecutors formally charged Pérez with two counts of simple sexual abuse aggravated by cohabitation, a charge that refers to unwanted sexual contact and is treated more seriously when the accused lived with the victim.
- The provincial prosecutor’s office said Pérez has been released from custody and will remain under investigation, with orders that he have no contact with the girl.
- Case files cite two alleged episodes, including the incident the girl disclosed to her mother during a walk and a prior situation the complainant linked to October 2025.
- The defense lawyer, Nicolás Segovia, denied both alleged incidents and argues there was no cohabitation at the time, signaling plans to seek dismissal and to present their own expert reviews.
