Bryan Torres Retains Legal Team and Shuts Instagram as Melissa Klug Urges Travel Ban in Assault Case

Authorities have not announced a detention or travel restriction despite protection steps proceeding without a formal complaint.

Overview

  • Investigators are reviewing the viral assault footage, and reports note the seizure of an iPhone 11 and debit cards, but no arrest or migratory curb has been made public.
  • The Ministry of Women said Samahara Lobatón refused on‑site assistance, and the agency initiated protective actions ex officio for her and her children.
  • Torres closed his Instagram account and has not spoken publicly, while Estudio Salas Beteta Abogados confirmed it is defending him and warned about media pressure on justice operators.
  • Melissa Klug filed the complaint and is pressing for a travel ban and preliminary detention, voicing fears that Torres could leave Peru.
  • Lobatón has not filed a criminal complaint, and Klug now says her daughter intends to begin therapy and distance herself from Torres.
