Judge Bars Convicted Femicide Offender Jonathan Luna From Social Media in Prison

The ruling cites the risk of digital reoffending, directing prosecutors in Quilmes to investigate alleged Facebook messages.

Overview

  • Luna’s access to social platforms from any internet‑connected device is prohibited by an order from Bahía Blanca’s Penal Enforcement Court No. 1, issued by Judge Claudio Brun.
  • The measure follows a complaint by Micaela Ortega’s mother, who reported receiving Facebook Messenger notes from a profile linked to Luna.
  • Prison authorities must confine Luna’s communications to authorized institutional channels such as fixed‑line calls, in‑person visits and legal assistance.
  • Luna denies sending the messages, claims he has no cellphone at Unidad Penal No. 32 in Florencio Varela, and attributes the profile to someone seeking revenge.
  • Luna is serving a life sentence for the 2016 grooming and murder of 12‑year‑old Ortega, a landmark conviction for grooming followed by death in Argentina.
