Overview

  • Investigators determined that Fabiola Alejandra “N” subjected her son to repeated ‘cópula equiparada’ during six months of weekend custody visits in 2020.
  • Unusual behaviors in the child prompted his father to file a complaint that led the Vicefiscalía Especializada en Atención a Niñas, Niños y Adolescentes to launch a probe.
  • Prosecutors secured medical examinations and witness testimonies to demonstrate how the attacker exploited maternal trust.
  • On July 15, a Tribunal Unitario de Jalisco found the mother guilty and imposed a 20-year prison sentence along with mandatory reparations for the victim.
  • Jalisco authorities have reiterated that protecting children transcends family ties and that sexual crimes against minors will face strict punishment.
