The original complaint in the Justice of the municipality of La Matanza, where the abuse would have occurred, is being expanded these days because the victim, according to the lawyer, He received threats from the player’s environment, including Montiel’s mother, when he went to ratify the complaint of abuse.
As Hermida explained, the victim had maintained “a small, short relationship” with Montiel, who invited her to meet his family and insisted that she attend the party at La Matanza. The victim is a model and she does not drink alcohol, but after trying two drinks she “was completely unconscious,” said the lawyer.
