At the end of January 2025, from his personal X account (formerly Twitter), the Frente Amplio lawyer published an excerpt from a court ruling regarding a minor, which led to him being reported and appearing before a court.
The facts
In mid-January of this year, the Socialist Party launched Ceretta as a pre-candidate for the Montevideo intendancy.
This was reported by the press. The other proclaimed pre-candidates were Mario Bergara, Verónica Piñeiro, and Salvador Schelotto.
These three were ultimately proclaimed as candidates for the capital's intendancy for the May 11 elections.
The reaction on social media
After it became known that the Frente Amplio lawyer was one of the pre-candidates, some users of the social network X (formerly Twitter) began to post that the professor at the Faculty of Law of the Universidad de la República had been reported in mid-2021 for media aggression against a girl just 6 years old who had different abilities.
What happened in 2021?
That year, the girl's parents were forced to file a complaint in court against the Socialist professor because he repeatedly released references to the minor through various media outlets.
He did so both on a radio show on El Espectador, where Ceretta is a columnist, and in statements to La Diaria and El País (see clippings in this article).
In response to the ongoing attacks on the little girl, the parents decided to take legal action to stop the insults against the child.
His 2025 attack
In his "defense," at the end of last January, Ceretta posted a tweet with an excerpt from the 2021 court ruling to "demonstrate" that, supposedly, that year the judge had exonerated him from responsibility for the media aggression against the minor.
When the girl's parents learned that the Frente Amplio lawyer was once again referring to their young daughter on social media, they filed a complaint with the Specialized Family Court, 5th Division, presided over by Judge Soledad Nin.
His post at the end of January received a great deal of views, and other users joined in the fierce media attack against the minor.
