The Public Prosecutor's Office of Mendoza reported that the accused Carlos Francisco Pérez (68), investigated for alleged sexual abuse of a minor, has been released. According to the Argentine News Agency, Pérez regained his freedom 'moments ago' within the framework of the case examining the complaint of simple sexual abuse against a 12-year-old girl. The case continues in the preliminary investigation stage, led by the provincial Public Prosecutor's Office, which did not provide further details on possible alternative coercive measures or new investigative proceedings. The accused had been detained days ago in Maipú, Mendoza, following the complaint filed by the victim's mother and remains subject to the criminal process, as per available official information. The case remains under the jurisdiction of the Fiscal Unit for Crimes against Sexual Integrity, which will have to resolve his procedural status once the pending investigative measures are concluded.
