Charges Laid in Boquete Robbery & Sexual Assault

Jueves 11 Mayo , 2017

A 20 year old citizen has been charged with the robbery and sexual abuse of a young couple, both of age, after sufficient evidence linking him with the commission of the offenses was presented at a hearing.

The facts presented were that, on the evening of May 7th, several people attacked the couple stripping them of the cash they carried at the time and their personal clothing, in a sector that is located next to the shopping area of the district of Boquete, .

A female victim was sexually abused by the assailants, one of whom was caught in the act by the Police who arrived at the scene.

The alleged aggressor, a citizen who was born in the district of Rio Sereno, was brought before a judge, who agreed to legalize the requests made by the Public Ministry, including arrest warrants, charges and application of detention as a precautionary measure, made through the Municipality of Boquete, represented by Gisele Acosta.

The charges that were forth today, were investigated for crimes against the economic assets in the form of aggravated robbery and against sexual freedom in the form of aggravated sexual violation, to the detriment of the couple.

I'm going to read between the lines here and surmise that these offenses occurred somewhere over by the old Gallera.

Are you referring to that uncompleted multistory structure between the town square and Revilla?

No Doug, the old Gallera or cock-fighting arena, is located at the bottom of that same street though, Calle 2A Sur, close to the river.  I believe there's still a couple of dive bars down there, where mostly Indigenous people hang out.

The new Sistema Accusatorio Penal seems to be making a difference in the rate of speed of the application of justice.

A plea deal was struck in this case the other day, sentencing the perpetrator,  Alexander Azael Villarreal Jiménez , to 9 years in prison.
