‘Cri Cri’ Defends Innocence on El Valor de la Verdad as Episode Airs Despite Legal Pushback

After 11 months in preventive detention, the cousin of Jefferson Farfán used the broadcast to declare himself innocent.

Overview

  • The interview aired Sunday at 10 p.m. on Panamericana Televisión and online after legal notices sought to restrict statements, with host Beto Ortiz stressing the show did not reveal the complainant’s identity.
  • Cristian Martínez denied the 2024 sexual assault allegation, reiterated that forensic tests including DNA do not implicate him, and maintained he was not present or was asleep when the incident allegedly occurred, with the criminal case still active.
  • The program followed its format by subjecting Martínez to a polygraph segment, as promoted by the broadcaster.
  • He appeared accompanied by his mother, his lawyer and a relative; his mother voiced unwavering support and recounted his distress during detention, while his attorney said previously unrevealed details would be discussed.
  • On air, Martínez described strains with Jefferson Farfán, saying the ex-footballer stopped speaking to him the day of the incident, and he acknowledged arranging parties for him, calling himself an “alcahuete.”
