Overview
- Police detained Luis Emanuel Jesús Ramírez, 44, in Los Hornos and identified him as the leader of the Iglesia Tiempos de Pacto.
- He was formally imputed on aggravated sexual abuse counts, including abuse with carnal access committed by a minister of worship and abuse against a minor under 18.
- At the request of prosecutor Betina Lacki (UFI Nº 2) and by order of Judge Juan Pablo Masi, investigators searched his home and seized two cellphones for examination at the DDI.
- The case originated with a complaint filed last year by the boy’s mother alleging repeated abuse at the church, coercion to send intimate photos via WhatsApp, and threats to keep silent.
- Judicial sources say the probe is exploring possible additional underage victims from the congregation, while the church publicly rejected the accusations and signaled legal action against protesters.
