Sexual assault investigations in South America
Overview
Authorities in South America have reported several incidents involving the sexual abuse of minors.
In Hernandarias, Paraguay, an investigation was launched into the alleged abuse of a 13-year-old boy. The victim’s mother sought medical attention after the child experienced physical distress, and medical examinations confirmed injuries. A 25-year-old neighbor identified as the suspect has turned himself in to police, though he denies the accusations.
In Maracaibo, Venezuela, police detained a 17-year-old male accused of using force to assault a 10-year-old girl. The case has been referred to a prosecutor's office specializing in the criminal responsibility of children and adolescents.
In Iquique, Chile, a 27-year-old Venezuelan national was sentenced to three years in prison for sexually assaulting a 16-year-old on public transport using a sharp object. The suspect was identified by investigators through social media profiling shortly after the incident.
