Klug Removed From Probe as Defense Challenges Assault Video, Samahara Seen With Bryan Torres

Prosecutors have confined formal participation to the alleged victim, prompting Klug to seek standing as an aggrieved party.

Overview

  • Peru’s Fiscalía excluded Melissa Klug from the investigation, reclassifying her as a witness while her lawyer petitions to be recognized as a ‘parte perjudicada’.
  • Bryan Torres’s attorney argues the circulated clip is not from an original source, could be edited or AI‑altered, and says neither Torres nor Samahara Lobatón has formally recognized themselves in it.
  • Klug rejects claims of editing or AI and says her daughter told her the original recording lasts about 20 minutes, urging authorities to recover the full video through forensic means.
  • Klug’s legal team says Lobatón has given limited cooperation, has not completed a psychological evaluation, and continues to live with Torres, which they argue poses a risk of obstruction.
  • Entertainment program ‘Amor y Fuego’ aired images of Lobatón and Torres together at the apartment tied to the alleged assault, as Lobatón was seen at Depincri reportedly viewing case footage.
