Overview
- In Mar del Plata, a 23-year-old reported that her 48-year-old uncle confined and raped her, and medical exams documented genital injuries compatible with sexual abuse.
- Judge Daniel De Marco refused to convert the urgent apprehension into formal detention on procedural grounds, ordering the accused to continue the process at liberty.
- Prosecutor Carlos Russo said the investigation will continue and that he will seek detention again if additional evidence satisfies legal requirements.
- In La Plata’s Arturo Seguí, investigators identified two suspects over the alleged sexual assault of a 5-year-old; the adult remains detained and the minor is processed under juvenile procedures as key medical and forensic reports are awaited.
- Authorities are reviewing a viral Facebook post that identified a purported suspect and issued threats, warning that such exposure could hinder the case, while in an unrelated case a man was recently sentenced to 14 years for repeated child sexual abuse.
