Overview

• In Córdoba, a 36-year-old pleaded guilty in a juicio abreviado before the Cámara 2° del Crimen and received a 12-year sentence for abusing three female relatives.
• The case surfaced after his 14-year-old daughter told her mother, prompting a March arrest and an inquiry that documented years of assaults dating back to 2013.
• The victims’ lawyer, Fernanda Alaniz, said the sentence felt insufficient and reported two new allegations under investigation, with multiple complaints pending.
