Man, 23, Detained at UBA Campus Over Alleged Groping of Two Students

A city judge ordered his detention on simple sexual abuse charges.

Overview

  • Police arrested the suspect at Ciudad Universitaria’s Pabellón III on Wednesday after two students, aged 19 and 27, reported being touched over their clothing in separate locations.
  • Other students and non‑teaching staff restrained the man following a 911 call until agents from Comisaría Vecinal 13B arrived.
  • Authorities said the detainee is not a member of the University of Buenos Aires community.
  • Officers seized a replica firearm from the suspect, which investigators say was not used to threaten the victims.
  • The case is before Juzgado Nacional en lo Criminal y Correccional Nº39, led by Judge Santiago Carlos Bignone, as UBA offers support to the victims and cooperates with the investigation.
