An investigation continues in Peru following the alleged sexual assault of a 16-year-old student aboard a school vehicle at the Liceo Naval Almirante Guise. Six minors involved in the incident have been placed under four months of preventive detention at the Maranguita juvenile center. Officials from the National Program of Juvenile Centers (Pronacej) noted that these minors may remain in the facility even if they reach adulthood, depending on future judicial rulings.

The scandal has triggered institutional changes, including the transfer of the school’s administration from the Navy to the Ministry of Education and the removal of the school director, a teacher, and a football coach. The case has expanded into a broader national debate regarding school safety, bullying, and homophobia. Influencer Marina Gold testified to experiencing bullying at the institution, while actor Christopher Gianotti criticized the school’s handling of student violence. Other parents have alleged past incidents of violence and sexual assault during school trips.

In response to the incident and rising statistics of school violence—with the SíseVe portal recording over 11,000 reports of school violence in Peru between January and August 2026—Premier Luis Galarreta and the Ministry of Education have announced plans to reform school regulations. These proposed policies aim to allow for the expulsion of students involved in violent infractions, a shift from previous regulations that prioritized educational continuity.
