Jalisco Authorities Detain Ex-Chivas Star Omar Bravo on Suspicion of Aggravated Child Sexual Abuse

He remains in custody awaiting presentation before a judge in Puente Grande following a warrant obtained during a specialized investigation.

Overview

  • Investigative police arrested the 44-year-old at about 6:30 p.m. Saturday in central Zapopan after a formal complaint led prosecutors to open a case file.
  • Prosecutors report preliminary findings that an adolescent was allegedly abused on multiple occasions in recent months, with earlier conduct under review.
  • The arrest warrant was issued by the Tenth Control Court, and official records indicate a transfer to the oral trial halls at the Puente Grande penitentiary complex.
  • Some media report the complaint was filed roughly five days earlier by a stepdaughter alleging touching, sexual propositions and threats, which has not been officially confirmed.
  • Jalisco authorities refer to the detainee as Omar “N” during the process, and legal references note potential penalties of up to about 20 years for aggravated child sexual abuse.
