Mauro Aguirre, who is part of the political group EVEN, was charged with “simple sexual abuse” aggravated by being an educator and “sexual abuse with carnal access”, with the same aggravating factor. For this accusation, he risks a sentence of up to 20 years in prison. Three other people from the same group were involved and charged. Justice considers that they were primary participants in the abuses. The case is being investigated by the Fiscal unit of crimes against Sexual integrity and the cause is led by prosecutor Darío Nora.  >

In addition, the institution clarified that the administrative process initiated by the FCPyS continues its course, in parallel to the criminal complaints, in which are imputed persons outside the institution. In a radio interview, Beigel, the lawyer of the complaint, said that there was a sophisticated modus operandi in the group that specified the abuses. “She insisted that the girls move away from their families and live alone. Other times, they were invited to the supposed dinners where finally there was a bed ready for what they wanted to happen. Even the girls were criticized if they had boyfriends outside the grouping, “said the lawyer.
