Overview
- Prosecutors say they have six chat threads that include apologies, references to the act and requests to be exonerated that were sent to the victim the same day as the alleged assault on September 15.
- The six students accused of the group sexual assault remain in preventive internment at the Maranguita juvenile center while the Fiscalía continues its investigation.
- Those chat messages contrast with the version the students gave to the Policía Nacional, in which they described the episode as a joke or consensual contact.
- Authorities and media report a separate alleged attack inside Maranguita in early October, prompting concerns about detainee safety and institutional oversight.
- The victim's new lawyer, Juan Peña, says he has identified three adolescents he will present to authorities and families of detained students publicly insist on innocence and say a pact among peers is blocking full truth.
