Overview
- The defendant, identified as 33-year-old Uriel Rivera Martínez, was ordered into justified preventive detention at Reclusorio Norte after a control judge linked him to proceedings for abusing President Claudia Sheinbaum.
- This is his second criminal proceeding for abuse sexual in less than 24 hours, following an earlier case tied to a 25-year-old woman allegedly assaulted the same day in Mexico City’s historic center.
- The judge set a two‑month period for complementary investigation in the Sheinbaum case, while the prior case against the 25-year-old carries a separate timeline established by the court.
- Authorities say a third woman also reported being touched that day in the downtown area, with that complaint still pending judicial action.
- The November 4 incident was captured on video showing a man hugging the president from behind, attempting to kiss her and making unwanted contact as she greeted people near the National Palace.
