Córdoba teen disappearance reveals child sexual exploitation network
The disappearance of a 14‑year‑old girl in Córdoba triggered a police investigation that located the teenager in the neighboring province of Santiago del Estero. Following the discovery, authorities carried out raids in the town of Villa de María del Río Seco, seizing phones and other electronic devices for forensic analysis.
Eight men were arrested in connection with the case. Several of those detained work as remiseros or unlicensed ride‑share drivers who allegedly transported the victim and other minors. Prosecutors have charged the suspects with grooming, sexual abuse of minors and child prostitution, and are evaluating whether the case should be moved to federal jurisdiction.
