A 30-year-old man was detained in Neiva for sexually assaulting a minor. He faces charges of abusive access with a minor under 14 after using tricks to rape the victim, who later told her family. A judge issued a capture order executed by police.
The incident took place in Neiva, where the 30-year-old man was arrested in the Canaima neighborhood by officers from the Basic Criminal Investigation Unit of the Neiva Metropolitan Police. The detention followed an investigative process started after the victim confided in her loved ones. The minor, under 14 years old, was sexually abused by the perpetrator using tricks.
A judge issued the capture order for the man to answer for the crime of abusive access with a minor under 14. Once detained, he was handed over to the Prosecutor's Office for a judge to determine his legal status. The Neiva Metropolitan Police stressed adherence to protocols in the procedure.
“The investigators executed the capture order issued by the competent authority, ensuring due process and the protection of the victim's rights,” the institution stated in a release. This case highlights the role of basic criminal investigations in safeguarding minors in the region, though no further details on the aggressor's background or the exact context of the abuse beyond the tricks used are provided.
