Buenos Aires Supreme Court upholds Pablo Ghisoni's acquittal

The Supreme Court of Justice of Buenos Aires Province rejected an appeal and upheld the acquittal of doctor Pablo Ghisoni, who spent three years in custody over a false sexual abuse claim by his son Tomás. The young man admitted in 2025 that the accusation was fabricated and that he was influenced by his mother.

The Supreme Court of Justice of Buenos Aires Province confirmed Pablo Ghisoni's acquittal on March 20, 2026, by rejecting an appeal from the prosecution represented by Andrea Karina Vázquez. The judges ruled that the arguments showed no violations of rights or constitutional guarantees, only disagreements over evidence assessment. This upholds the prior ruling declaring the obstetrician innocent of alleged abuses from 2010 to 2016, reported by his son Tomás Ghisoni. Ghisoni was held over two years in a mental health facility and then under house arrest, totaling nearly three years without a formal conviction. In 2023, the No. 3 Criminal Court of Lomas de Zamora acquitted him by majority, a decision upheld by the Criminal Cassation Court. The case gained public attention in 2025 when Tomás posted a video admitting the claim was false: “No fui una víctima de mi padre, fui usado” (I was not a victim of my father, I was used), stating his account lacked real basis. The key evidence, a Gesell Chamber statement, was deemed influenced by an adult. Following the final ruling, Ghisoni described the impact: “Perdí a mis hijos durante años” (I lost my children for years). He expressed willingness to rebuild family ties: “Cuando mis hijos me busquen, voy a estar” (When my children seek me, I will be there).
