Omar Bravo Held in Preventive Detention on Aggravated Child Sexual Abuse Charge in Jalisco

The next hearing is set for Oct. 10 after the defense requested extra time under constitutional rules.

Overview

  • The former Chivas striker was arrested on Oct. 4 in central Zapopan under a court-issued warrant following a complaint by an adolescent.
  • A control judge validated the arrest, formally presented the accusation, and ordered mandatory pretrial detention at the Puente Grande facility.
  • The defense invoked the 144-hour extension, so the decision on whether to open a full trial is scheduled for the Oct. 10 linkage hearing.
  • Prosecutors allege multiple incidents in recent months, while media citing Reforma and Mural report a recording given to authorities and conduct dating back to 2019.
  • Accounts differ on the complainant’s relationship to Bravo, described as either a stepdaughter or a niece of his wife, with authorities withholding the victim’s identity.
