A new judicial setback suffered the young man accused of “sexual abuse” of which his cousin was a victim in the framework of a year-end party in 2020. After the Correctional justice did not allow the lawsuit for “insults” presented by the defendant, annoyed by the publications on social networks, the Judge of Guarantees that hears the criminal case rejected the request for dismissal requested by the defense of Joaquin Gianfelici.
The file is located in the Functional Instruction Unit (UFI) 6 of La Plata where its former head the prosecutor Marcelo Romero requested a series of measures of evidence to corroborate the statements of the complainant before calling the accused for investigation. For its part, the defense requested the dismissal of the young man but it was rejected by the head of the Court of Guarantees 4 of La Plata, Juan Pablo Masi.
The night of December 26, 2020 marked a traumatic before and after in the life of the young woman Florence Lopez. As detailed in the criminal complaint that she filed, she was abused by her cousin, with whom until then she had “a very trusting relationship.” That link was broken that night during a meeting with friends at the home of the person involved. The defendant is 24 years old, was a student at Colegio San Luis, is linked to the Marist community and was charged with the crime of abuse. The young man now has a precautionary measure in force that prevents him from getting closer than 200 meters away from his 23-year-old cousin.
The complaint was filed by Florence Lopez before the Victim Assistance office, of whom he does not have the best of references. “I spent a year moving alone for the cause to advance and I had to hire lawyers to help me”he detailed in an interview with this medium.
The file contains the statements of people who participated in the meeting that night and gave credibility to Florencia’s complaint. A witness said that she saw the defendant in bed with the young woman. Gianfelici’s sister even declared, who maintained that the young man confessed to her that “there was an approach” but added that “it was a misunderstanding”as indicated by the lawyers assisting the victim, Gustavo Galasso and ezekiel funesbefore the consultation of 0221.com.ar.
