Overview
- Police staged a nighttime visit to Vera’s home in San Lorenzo to notify him of the claim, not to arrest him, which his lawyers say frightened his minor children.
- The Sexual Crimes Unit No. 3 is handling the case, and reports say the alleged abuse dates to 2011.
- Prosecutors are seeking a DNA sample from Vera’s wife, Beatriz Yapura, to compare with an unidentified female profile found in the victims’ autopsies.
- Defense attorneys José Vargas and Roberto Adrián Reyes say the accusation is time‑barred and argue it is being used to obtain Yapura’s DNA.
- Supporters, including French journalist Charles Chatard, question the complaint’s timing and coherence as Vera’s 2011 murder conviction was annulled in 2023 after more than a decade in prison.
