Former Chivas Star Omar Bravo Arrested in Jalisco on Aggravated Child Sexual Abuse Allegation

Prosecutors say the case remains under investigation with an initial court appearance pending.

Overview

  • Investigators detained the 44-year-old in central Zapopan around 6:30 p.m. Saturday after a Fiscalía-led operation by the specialized unit for crimes against women, girls, boys and adolescents.
  • Authorities say a complaint led to a case file that secured an arrest warrant from the Tenth Control Court for Adolescents in the First Judicial District.
  • Official records indicate he is being transferred to the Puente Grande oral courts to be placed before the judge who issued the order.
  • Preliminary findings allege repeated abuse of an adolescent in recent months, and officials note the possibility of prior similar conduct as inquiries continue.
  • Some outlets report the complainant as his stepdaughter and say incidents may date to 2019, which authorities have not detailed publicly; the offense carries potential penalties of up to about 20 years in prison under Jalisco law.
