Overview
- Prosecutor Pablo Turano asked on June 24 that Porcel be sent to oral trial on ten counts, including aggravated sexual abuse, aggravated corruption of minors and production of sexual images.
- Victims who testified in Cámara Gesell described a repeated pattern of gatherings from 2022 to 2024 at Porcel’s properties and an office where he supplied alcohol, paid teens for stunts and subjected boys to massages that ended in genital touching.
- Investigators seized Porcel’s cellphone and found sexual images, including stills taken from a security camera reportedly placed in a bathroom, which prosecutors cite as part of the case file.
- Courts have already processed Porcel, retained his passport, banned him from leaving the country, limited his absence from home to 24 hours and placed an embargo on his assets for ARS 111,564,950.
- If Judge Bruniard orders a trial the next phase will be an oral hearing; convictions on the alleged statutes carry prison terms that can range from roughly eight to twenty years and could profoundly affect the victims and school community that reported concerns in 2024.
