Overview
- The Oral Criminal Court No. 4 of Lomas de Zamora issued an absolutory verdict on October 21, declaring Villa free of guilt and closing the case.
- Both the prosecutor and complainant Rocío Tamara Doldán formally abandoned the accusation during the oral proceedings.
- A forensic psychological report by Alicia Cortalezzi found the complainant’s decision voluntary and not driven by fear or economic or emotional dependency.
- Judges said there were no autonomous evidentiary elements to support a conviction once the accusation was withdrawn under Argentina’s procedural rules.
- Villa, a Colombian forward now at Independiente Rivadavia and formerly of Boca Juniors, still carries a separate 2023 suspended conviction for aggravated minor injuries and coercive threats in another case.
