The shocking testimony of the woman who reported the Vélez players for sexual abuse: “I have a torn soul inside”

The case investigating the complaint of alleged sexual abuse against four Vélez players against a 24-year-old journalist is experiencing a key moment on Monday, since the lawyers of Braian Cufré, Abiel Osorio and José Ignacio Florentín They asked judge Eliana Gómez Moreira to grant them parole like their partner Sebastián Sosa and thus avoid preventive detention. However, while the hearing was taking place at the San Miguel de Tucumán court, the shocking testimony of the young 24-year-old journalist who denounced the footballers emerged.

“You can listen to me with great strength, whole, but I assure you that it is not like that, inside my soul is torn”The woman spoke last Wednesday about the hell she experienced on the night of March 3 in room 407 of the Hilton hotel in the provincial capital.

In that hearing, when the players categorically denied having committed abuse, the young woman asked to speak and told in detail everything she had experienced. This is what journalist José Inesta reconstructed in a note published by TN.com.ar.

He then explained how he proceeded once he realized the ordeal he had experienced. “It’s the afternoon of the next day when my head is cold, my mind is cold and I start to remember what they had done to me. There my head was different and I realize what they had done to me. And a significant detail , Sosa chats with me in two moments, Sebastián Sosa begins to tell me that in my memories I have seen him sleeping, that he saw me well, that I was always fine, so what happened to us? Or did he see me, he was a luxury spectator of what the other three people did to me, at alternate times, or he slept, as in my memories of him sleeping.

And he followed: “I wasn’t in my right mind, at no point was I 100% lucid, my head responded for a few moments, but my body didn’t. No victims are speaking at this time, this is known, it takes time and a process for all of us to do so. Monday and Tuesday I went to work. Wednesday included. Not because I was fine, or because nothing had happened, it was a defense mechanism. To say, well, I’ll try to continue. Obviously I couldn’t continue and it was clear to my colleagues that I was unwell and that something had happened to me. On Monday I went to my gynecologist in a fit of total anguish, crying and shaking, asking to 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 sometimes worked, but my body didn’t.”

In line with the complaint, the victim also called for the detention of her alleged attackers. “It seems very unfair to me that these four people continue to live with impunity in a luxurious country house or wherever, when my life is a prison and hell. Because it is not as they say, that their public image is being damaged. , which does not they can go nowhere and I can’t do it either and I receive aberrant things on all my social networks, all of them, they even started a media persecution against me, when they leaked my face, because my name was circulating but not it was not confirmed at all, when the chats with my face in an audio were leaked they verified that that Instagram and that face were my identity. I have nothing left in life, I have no privacy, I have no identity, I have no intimacy, I have absolutely nothing, I only have my life, it’s what motivates me to continue here and fight for myself and for all of us who come behind.”

He also spoke about the instant messaging conversations he continued to have with Sosa. “Mr. Sosa kept manipulating me during the chat by saying that it was a good moment, that I shouldn’t get bitter, that he always sees me clearly and then I start to connect the dots a little and tell him; but for. How could you have seen me clearly , if you were sleeping, so what, did you either see me or were you sleeping?

He also regretted not leaving the hotel in time. “What if I ask myself and question myself? Of course I blame myself every day for not leaving 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 the time, so I won’t be left wondering if I had a moment of clarity or not, which I will defend and support until the end of this., because that’s what happened and that’s what I felt. You can feel that I am very strong, I am very intact, but I assure you that it is not like that, inside my soul is torn apart. I have lost a lot of weight, Because The anguish is 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, my chest hurts and I can’t breathe. I feel it thick. And not to mention all the things that come to me through social networks, which are horrible, I don’t even dare reproduce them because it hurts me to imagine those things being said to me.

Instead, he expressed his indignation at having learned that Cufré and Florentín had gone down to the casino after the alleged attack. “I just came to find out now andFrom the security camera you can see them hugging and laughing, as if it were a victory, for what they had done to me, what, hurt me and keep me in a state of total vulnerability against my will, is like a trophy? I would like to understand well what they felt in that moment: what did they gain from it?”

Finally, regarding the version that the alleged attackers had paid him, he underlined: “That 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 silver wad from my panties disgusts me.. That they paid me for what they had done to me or they wanted to keep me happy for what they had done to me: one of two things. Safe”.
