Tucumán Judge Dismisses Case Against Four Ex-Vélez Players in Sexual Assault Probe

The ruling rests on cellphone forensics alongside a psychological assessment indicating consent.

Overview

  • Judge Augusto José Paz Almonacid ordered the dismissal for Sebastián Sosa, Braian Cufré, Abiel Osorio and José Ignacio Florentín, ruling the alleged conduct did not constitute a crime.
  • The judge rejected the complainant’s bid to nullify ECIF analyses of phones from people close to her, upholding those pericias as admissible.
  • Prosecutors took a split stance in hearings, backing dismissal only for Sosa, leaving the broader outcome to the court.
  • The complainant’s legal team said it will appeal, arguing the phone work was irregular and that other medical and digital evidence warranted review at trial.
  • The decision is a first‑instance procedural dismissal that can be reviewed by higher courts, with the judge citing phone records and a psychological report to support a finding of consent.
