The case that investigates the complaint of alleged sexual abuse against four Vélez players against a 24-year-old journalist is experiencing a key Monday, since the lawyers of
Braian Cufré, Abiel Osorio and José Ignacio Florentín
asked judge Eliana Gómez Moreira to grant conditional release like his partner Sebastián Sosa and thus avoid preventive detention.
However, while the hearing is taking place in the courts of San Miguel de Tucumán, the shocking testimony of the young 24-year-old journalist who denounced the soccer players emerged.
"You can listen to me with great strength, whole, but I assure you that is not like that, inside my soul is torn,"
the woman said last Wednesday about the hell she experienced on the night of March 3 in room 407 of the hotel. Hilton of the provincial capital.
At that hearing, when the players emphatically denied having committed abuse, the young woman asked to speak and gave details of everything she experienced.
This is how journalist José Inesta reconstructed it in a note published by TN.com.ar.
“First of all I'm going to start by saying that for me this is going to be my prison, because my life has been hell and a prison for three weeks, it seems crazy to me. I'm afraid they'll run away. They have the economic means and so do the possibilities. It wouldn't seem fair to me that they spend the remainder of the trial in a house, in a country house, with a swimming pool, with a soccer goal, having a good time when my life has been hell for three weeks
,” the victim began.
"I can't go anywhere alone. They have leaked my face through chats from them. That cell phone is not mine, the messages don't come from my cell phone either. They have leaked my address. They have leaked my ID, the name and everything. I can't go alone, or even buy a book at the mall because of how people look at me. The comments that have come to me have been aberrant. Not only have they taken away my dignity, my sexuality, they have taken away my career, the dreams, the happiness, the smile and above all, the desire to live but I am still alive and I am stronger than ever and that is why I am going to report so that justice is done
," she lamented.
When asked about how she decided to accept Sosa's invitation, she said:
“I voluntarily agree to go to a hotel with four people, stating literally that they do not get lost, at no time do I say yes 'crazy party for everyone'.
They were never my words.
They wanted to discredit me with the phrase in the message that I do these things alone, I mean that I always, whenever I have a deal with a footballer, be it to have the team passed to me, to have the formations passed to me, to Let the inmates tell me, to have a drink, to have a date, to go out, for whatever, I handle myself, and in privacy.
Tucumán is very small and I have never in my life wanted my sporting life, my journalistic life, my private life, whatever, to be confused with this fact, as they make you believe here.
I gave my consent to go voluntarily, but everything that happened afterward was not consensual.
I accepted to go spontaneously, everything that follows after that I do not accept."
He then explained how he proceeded once he realized the ordeal he had experienced.
"It's the next day in the afternoon when my head is cold, my mind is cold and I begin to remember what they had done to me. There my head was different and I realize what they did to me. And a no small detail, Sosa chats with me in two moments. Sebastián Sosa begins to tell me that in my memories they are of seeing him asleep, that he sees me well, that I was always fine, so what did we end up with? Or he saw me, he was a spectator luxury of what the other three people did to me, at alternate times, or he slept, as in my memories of him sleeping.”
And he continued:
“I was not in my right mind, at no time was I 100% lucid, my head responded for some moments, but my body did not.
No victim speaks at the moment, this is known, it takes time and a process for all of us to do so.
I went to work on Monday and Tuesday.
Including Wednesday.
Not because I was fine, or because nothing had happened, it was a defense mechanism.
To say, well, I try to continue.
Obviously I couldn't continue and it was clear to my co-workers that I was not well and that something had happened to me.
I went to my gynecologist on Monday in a fit of total anguish, crying and shaking, asking to please be treated
.
"Then why do I go to the gynecologist like that? If nothing had been done to me, as they say, it was all consensual... My head worked at times, but my body didn't."
In line with the complaint, the victim also requested that her alleged attackers be detained.
"It seems very unfair to me that these four people continue with their impunity, living in a luxurious house in the country or wherever, when my life is a prison and hell. Because it is not as they say, that their public image is harmed, who can't go anywhere and I can't do it either and I get aberrant things on all my social networks, all of them. They have also started a media persecution on me by them, when they have leaked my face, because my name was circulating but not at all confirmed, when they filtered my chats with my face in an audio they made a verification that that Instagram and that face was my identity.
I no longer have anything in life, I have no privacy, I have no identity, no I have privacy,
I have absolutely nothing, I only have my life, it is what motivates me to continue here and fight for myself and for all of us who come behind.”
He also spoke about the conversations via instant messaging that he continued to have with Sosa.
"Mr. Sosa kept manipulating me over the chat that it had been a good time, that I shouldn't get bitter, that he always sees me well and then I begin to connect the dots a little and I tell him;
but he stops.
How could you have seen me properly, if you were sleeping, then what, either you saw me or you were sleeping?
He also regretted not having left the hotel on time.
"If I ask myself and question myself? Of course I blame myself every day for not having left there, absolutely every day of my life I ask myself, why did I stay, why didn't I leave? No one was there and knows what I experienced and what I felt at that moment, so I am not going to allow myself to be questioned if I may have had a moment of lucidity or not, which I am going to defend and sustain until the end of all this. , because that's what happened and that's what I felt. You can hear that I'm very strong, I'm very whole, but I assure you that's not the case, inside my soul is torn. I've lost a lot of weight, because
the anguish It's so much that I can't eat,
I can't even go to the gym, clear my head because people are looking at me, I can't breathe if I lie on my side or face down, because the anguish is so much that my chest hurts and "The air doesn't pass me. It feels dense. And not to mention all the things that come to me through social networks, which are horrifying, I don't even dare to reproduce them because it hurts me to imagine that those things are being said to me." .
On the other hand, he expressed his indignation at having found out that Cufré and Florentín went down to the casino after the alleged attack.
“I'm just now finding out that
on the security camera you can see them hugging and laughing, like a victory
, for what they had done to me, what, hurting me and grabbing me in a totally vulnerable state against my will, it's like a trophy?
I would love to understand well what they felt at that moment: what had they gained?”
Finally, regarding the version that the alleged attackers had paid him, he stressed:
“I asked for money to go home?
I don't ask anyone for money, ever in my life.
I mean, that's totally a lie.
The image of me untying the wad of silver from my panties generates disgust in me
.
That they paid me for what they had done to me or they wanted to keep me quiet for what they had done to me: one of the two things.
Sure"
