three cases

as the author of the crimes of

sexual abuse with aggravated carnal access

, for being in charge of education and the participation of two people, and

promotion of

aggravated

corruption of minors

, for being the person in charge of education.

Prosecutor Matías Broggi, from the Gender, Family and Sexual Violence Unit.

As for Arteriza, Broggi

accuses her of four of the victims

.

In two of the cases, as a necessary accomplice of sexual abuse with aggravated carnal access and promotion of aggravated corruption of minors, and as the author of the crime of seriously outrageous aggravated sexual abuse.

Regarding the other two victims, the woman is charged as the author of the crime of

simple sexual abuse

.

"The defendants told the victims that '

all the girls did it

', and they

achieved a naturalization of the abuses

that are sufficient to alter their free and progressive development of sexuality," said Broggi.

Broggi said that "although each of the defendants had a different degree of participation,

the two committed the abuses simultaneously

."

When asked about the penalty that he could request at the time of the oral trial, Broggi said that "it is complex" because the Penal Code provides a sentence of 8 to 20 years "for each of the carnal accesses, which in a contest are added the maximum up to 50 years. And he added:

"With the three facts that we have

,

we

would reach that maximum

."

The complaint

Aire de Santa Fe

, one of the victims who denounced the couple of coaches said that the abuses began in 2010,

when she was 11 years old

, and continued until 2014, when she let practice go.

And he said: "I wanted to report it because

I did not want to cross it

as if it were nothing on the street."

It was not the only one.

After his complaint, which was on July 19,

others followed

.

Three of the victims say that the attacks occurred at the house of the detainee's mother.

According to the victims, both detainees participated: the

excuses

for citing them were

talking about training

, doing extra practice,

trying on clothes

.

They made one of the girls stay the night because there was competition early the next day.

There was even

groping

during training and also

psychological violence

.

The boys' parents trusted the coaches.

"We all knew that

there was something strange

but it was naturalized and apart from that

we were young

enough to know that what that elderly person in charge

was doing was wrong,

" closed another of the victims in dialogue with

Aire de Santa Fe

.
