Piura Court Orders Nine Months’ Preventive Detention for ‘El Paisa’ and Second Suspect in Alleged Sex‑Trafficking of Minors

Prosecutors say evidence from digital ads, rescued teens, seized devices supports the trafficking probe.

Overview

  • The Juzgado de Investigación Preparatoria granted a nine‑month preventive detention request for Genry Rolando Neyra Flores, known as “El Paisa,” and Óscar Yoel Domínguez Tocto as the investigation continues.
  • Specialized anti‑trafficking prosecutors report more than 50 evidentiary elements gathered in preliminary proceedings, including victim and witness statements and extractions from mobile phones.
  • Authorities say the operation used a website to arrange paid sexual encounters involving adolescents, with two girls aged 15 and 16 rescued from the Trébol and Eros lodging houses in Piura.
  • Police detained Neyra Flores on November 8 after weeks of surveillance, seized a vehicle reportedly used to transport victims, seven cellphones, and a wallet, and documented his alleged role in scheduling and logistics.
  • Investigators opened the case on August 14, executed searches and lifted communications secrecy, found Domínguez Tocto with a minor during the November operation, and provided victims with support through the Unit for Victims and Witnesses with NGO assistance.
