Michoacán Prosecutors Win 12-Year Sentence in Child Abuse Case as Judge Links Suspect to Bus Assault

The FGE's specialized unit moved both matters forward using established tools of Mexico's criminal procedure.

Overview

  • A Morelia court imposed 12 years and 5 months in prison on Guillermo G. after an abbreviated procedure for sexually abusing a 9‑year‑old girl and a 12‑year‑old boy.
  • The March 2 abuse occurred after the neighbor invited both children into his vehicle and assaulted them during a drive through the city.
  • The judge also ordered payment of reparations, following an investigation that led to an arrest warrant, custody, and linkage to process before the abbreviated sentencing.
  • In a separate case, a Juez de Control on November 15 linked José Luis “N” to process for possible aggravated rape of an adolescent on a passenger bus traveling through Cuitzeo.
  • The teen reported the attack immediately, enabling detention at the Morelia bus terminal, and the judge ordered mandatory pretrial detention with a two‑month, 15‑day period to close the complementary investigation.
