Videos Could Be Shown Today in Bahía Blanca Trial Over Alleged False Rape Claim

Prosecutors say recovered cloud videos are decisive, prompting a bid for a custodial sentence.

Overview

  • The Tribunal Oral Criminal No. 1 resumed the second of three hearings with 10 witnesses, with the debate slated to conclude on February 26.
  • Prosecutor Mauricio Del Cero described the digital evidence as “conclusive” and said he will seek an effective prison term under Penal Code article 275.
  • According to the prosecutor, the cloud-stored videos could be screened today or Thursday at a party’s request, and Damiani would be allowed to leave the room during playback.
  • Two psychologists testified that Damiani’s original account showed serious inconsistencies and said she reported feeling defrauded by one of the men.
  • The 2017 case reversed after encrypted videos recovered from a cloud account showed a consensual encounter, leading to the two men’s release and clearing, and to Damiani’s April 2025 detention on aggravated false-testimony charges.
