Peru Court Summons Christian Domínguez’s Parents in Probe of Alleged Psychological Violence Against Daughter

Domínguez seeks to keep proceedings private as the court weighs alleged harm to the teenager under gender- and family-violence rules.

Overview

  • Both grandparents have been ordered to testify so the judge can assess whether the minor suffered psychological harm.
  • Christian Domínguez asked the court for confidentiality and guarantees for his daughter, alleging Melanie Martínez disclosed case information.
  • Martínez denies leaking documents and says she only just received official paperwork that had already circulated in the media.
  • Media reports say Domínguez did not call his daughter on her 17th birthday, and Martínez says the teen broke down after he left court without a goodbye.
  • A legal analyst noted that under Peru’s Law 30364, the grandparents could face serious penalties, potentially up to 12 years in prison, if found responsible for psychological harm.
