Prosecutor Seeks Dismissal in Mendoza Teacher Case After Forensics Indicate Granddaughter Filmed Video

An NGO alert over a blocked YouTube upload set off raids that misidentified the vice-principal.

Overview

  • Prosecutor Pablo Fossarolli requested the vice-principal’s dismissal after finding no evidence of production or distribution of illicit material.
  • A forensic Cámara Gesell interview returned a negative result, and the 11-year-old granddaughter said she recorded the clip at her grandmother’s home.
  • The probe began with an international notification after YouTube blocked an attempted upload traced to a phone later seized in a Tupungato raid.
  • The educator was detained for seven hours and remains suspended without pay under measures imposed by Mendoza’s education authority.
  • Additional digital forensics are pending, and judicial coverage says the case could close if the request is confirmed, as the family reports severe reputational harm and weighs leaving town.
