Peru’s Arón Sánchez Accused by Ex-Partner of Abuse and Gun Threat

A court has ordered protection for the accuser during an active police investigation.

Overview

  • Goytizolo alleges that on April 19, after seeing Sánchez at a cinema with another woman, he forced her into a taxi, threatened to kill her, and later went to get a pistol at his home.
  • She says she filed a formal complaint at the Bellavista police station in Callao, where, by her account, he remained until the morning while statements were taken.
  • The accuser has posted WhatsApp messages she attributes to Sánchez that include apologies and a line saying she was having a “bad pregnancy” because of how he treated her.
  • Peru’s judiciary has issued protection measures for Goytizolo as authorities review the messages and her testimony in an ongoing investigation.
  • Sánchez, a player for Club Juan Pablo II and a former Peru youth international, told América Hoy he would not comment because the case is in legal hands, and the club has not issued a statement.
