Santiago Suárez Reappears, Reasserts Innocence as Sexual Assault Case Remains Under Investigation

The accuser’s lawyer says the probe is active and reserved.

Overview

  • He gave new media interviews and attended a film premiere this week, saying he is calm and waiting for the judicial process to conclude.
  • The complainant’s attorney told América Hoy they will not comment publicly because the case is a confidential investigation.
  • Suárez said a first-instance ruling favored him but was appealed by the other party, so the proceedings continue.
  • He described steep professional and financial setbacks, noting lost acting work and temporary jobs such as retail sales and waiting tables while seeking opportunities.
  • The allegation was filed in October 2024 by a 24-year-old U.S. Peace Corps volunteer, who reported an assault at his Miraflores apartment after meeting at a café-bar, with her police statement later aired by Magaly TV La Firme.
