Omar ‘N’ Remains in Puente Grande on Child Sex Abuse Charge With Oct. 10 Hearing Set

Pretrial detention continues ahead of an October 10 hearing to decide whether he will be formally bound over for trial.

Overview

  • The ex-Chivas striker is held under mandatory pretrial detention at Puente Grande, where authorities say he is in a higher-security cell and has only met with his attorneys.
  • A judge scheduled the linkage hearing for October 10 after the defense invoked the 144‑hour constitutional term to prepare its response.
  • Prosecutors cite recordings and testimony reported to show alleged abuse beginning in 2019 when the victim was 11, with videos now in the case file.
  • Investigators arrested Omar “N” in Zapopan under a warrant issued by the Tenth Control Court, using specialized units focused on crimes against women, children and adolescents.
  • Governor Pablo Lemus said there will be no impunity, the Zapopan mayor signaled his 2026 World Cup ambassador role is in doubt, and the Jalisco penal code allows for penalties of up to 20 years if guilt is proven.
