Ex-Chivas Striker Omar 'N' Held in Special Cell Ahead of Oct. 10 Hearing in Aggravated Child Sexual Abuse Case

Prosecutors cite a victim-recorded video plus 42 message screenshots to be weighed at Friday’s binding hearing.

Overview

  • Detained on Oct. 4 in Zapopan under a warrant from the Tenth Control Court, Omar 'N' remains in preventive custody at Puente Grande in a higher-security cell, according to Jalisco’s security chief.
  • The continuation hearing is set for Oct. 10 at 9:00 a.m., after the defense invoked the 144-hour constitutional extension to decide whether to bind him to trial.
  • The case file includes a video recorded by the minor, 42 screenshots of messages, a psychological report, and testimony describing years of alleged touching, coercion, and offers of money, with cohabitation cited as an aggravating factor.
  • Governor Pablo Lemus pledged no impunity, and the state’s secretary general said additional complaints are under review without specifying how many or their details.
  • Under Jalisco law, aggravated child sexual abuse penalties can increase significantly, reaching up to 20 years if conduct legally qualifies as copula, while potential institutional repercussions for the ex-player are being weighed pending the legal outcome.
