Overview
- Judge María Laura Vera homologated a plea agreement that imposes a six-year prison term for repeated sexual assaults in San Rafael, Mendoza.
- The defendant admitted the abuse in a streamlined proceeding, avoiding a full trial under Argentina’s juicio abreviado process.
- The court took into account assaults within the 2013–2016 window after ruling that older allegations had prescribed under the statute of limitations.
- The victim, who uses a wheelchair, is the sister of the convict’s partner and reported that the first attack occurred when her sister was hospitalized after giving birth.
- The case advanced after the woman disclosed the abuse during therapy in mid-2025, and reports say the man used threats to force her silence; identities are being withheld to protect her.
