Overview
- UGEL Cusco is investigating three separate alleged sexual assaults that occurred inside educational institutions and the regional education office requested progress reports on the administrative cases on Monday.
- One case dates to 2024 at the Gran Unidad Escolar Inca Garcilaso de la Vega where a 14-year-old was reportedly assaulted and UGEL opened an administrative inquiry into four teachers for possible omissions in duty of care.
- A second case involves an eight-year-old at a private school who was allegedly abused by adolescents in 2024 and whose family filed a formal complaint in 2026.
- The Ministerio Público and the Judiciary are conducting criminal diligences while UGEL carries out administrative follow-up, and Geresa has asked for documentation to explain delays that in some files exceed one year.
- Authorities say immediate-care child protection protocols have been applied and that case details are being kept confidential to protect minors, a restraint that officials say complicates public oversight and delays accountability for victims.
