The mother of one of the accused in a case of alleged abuse against a minor during an initiation 'baptism' at a hockey club in Mendoza stated that no such crime occurred and that the case was created for 'money'. She claims the events described were just a 'game', while considering that there was a 'misrepresentation' of what happened. According to the woman, who remained anonymous, there is a 'biased view' of the incident, and the participants were never forced to take part. She also emphasized that the only girl who later became a witness herself participated in the 'baptism' before changing her testimony. The mother of the accused stated that the true intention of the plaintiffs was to obtain a financial compensation of nearly $100 million. She believes that the lawyers representing the accusers are known for creating cases without any legal basis. Meanwhile, psychological evaluations and witness testimonies showed that the events were exaggerated and did not have a sexual nature.
