Judge Binds Ex‑Chivas Star Omar Bravo Over for Prosecution in Aggravated Child Sexual Abuse Case

He remains in preventive detention for six months as prosecutors run a one‑month complementary investigation and authorities reexamine two archived complaints involving other alleged victims.

Overview

  • Omar Bravo was detained on October 4 in Zapopan and, after a roughly 12‑hour hearing on October 10, a Jalisco judge ordered six months of preventive detention and set a one‑month window to complete complementary inquiries.
  • Prosecutors presented digital and audiovisual material — including a video, audios and about 42 screenshots — tied to allegations that the abuse of his partner’s daughter began when she was around 10–11 years old.
  • The Jalisco prosecutor’s office said two previously archived investigation files, each involving a different alleged victim, are being reviewed to determine their relevance to the current proceedings.
  • The defense contests key dates in the narrative, citing flight records and photos placing Bravo in Los Mochis on May 10, 2019, and says it will weigh an appeal within three days and a possible amparo while exploring other legal avenues.
  • Officials and attorneys have stressed victim privacy and due process, and reporting notes that penalties under Jalisco law can increase with aggravating factors if criminal responsibility is eventually established.
