Sexual Violence Cases See Mixed Outcomes Across Spain, Argentina and Peru

New actions span reinforced searches in Argentina, a plea deal in Spain, a conviction in Peru.

Overview

  • Police in Miramar intensified the hunt for a beach attacker who bound and raped a teenage girl, deploying about 50 officers and combing security footage under prosecutor Rodolfo Moure.
  • In Lugo, Spain, a long-running case closed with a plea agreement that cut prison terms to 3 years and 7 months in exchange for a €150,000 indemnity to the victim, with most already paid.
  • A Guardia Civil lieutenant in Bétera was released under GPS monitoring and a protective order after his ex-partner accused him of sexual assault, maltreatment and coercion.
  • Raids in Quimilí, Santiago del Estero, led to an arrest and the seizure of phones in a probe into possession, production and distribution of minors’ sexual images, with a police officer placed on preventive leave.
  • In Salta, a 23-year-old Japanese woman reported kidnapping, sexual abuse and threats over months, and the accused remains free while the complaint advances.
