According to police sources, officers from the 13th Precise arrived at the scene at 11:30 a.m. "following a call alerting to two students who reported being molested by a young man."

By order of the National Criminal and Correctional Court No. 39, led by Santiago Carlos Bignone, the man was detained and charged with simple sexual abuse.
