Diego Oliveri Sentenced to Prison in Landmark Sextortion Case

The ruling sets a new enforcement standard for digital privacy under Argentina’s Ley Olimpia by imposing a 27-month sentence in San Luis.

Overview

  • Diego Oliveri will serve two years and three months after being convicted of threats, unlawful distribution of private content, gender-based violence and aggravated bodily injury.
  • Tatiana Yacarini was acquitted of criminal charges yet ordered to pay economic reparations to the victim.
  • Judge Ariel Gustavo Parrillis oversaw the oral hearings before the Tribunal Unipersonal de San Luis and directed Oliveri’s immediate transfer to the provincial penitentiary.
  • Victim Gabriela Fernández Aberastain reported that her intimate video was viralized in April 2020 across Facebook, WhatsApp groups and adult websites during the COVID-19 lockdown.
  • Legal observers call the verdict the first effective prison sentence under Ley Olimpia in San Luis and expect it to influence future digital gender-violence prosecutions.
