Guaymallén School Assault Probe Advances as Exam Finds Non-Specific Lesions

Investigators now await the Gesell interview results to determine how to proceed with suspect identification.

Overview

  • A 9-year-old student reported repeated assaults by a construction worker at Abraham Lemos school and gave detailed information to specialist child-abuse interviewers, saying she can recognize the alleged attacker.
  • Seven construction workers who were on site during the relevant days have been identified, and prosecutor María de las Mercedes Moya has taken informative statements from them.
  • Judicial sources said Thursday’s physical exam detected lesions compatible with injury but not necessarily linked to sexual abuse, and additional professional interviews are being arranged.
  • Prosecutors are considering a recognition lineup following the child’s account, as they evaluate next steps in the active investigation.
  • The school says the construction firm halted work and submitted its full personnel list; the education authority accepted leave for the director and a teacher after reported assaults on staff during this week’s tensions, and no arrests have been made.
