As the investigation progresses, the most complex judicial situation falls on Villarreal, former advisor to the former provincial legislator of Peronism Ramón “Cañito” Flores
The case investigating a grooming and sexual abuse network in Villa de María de Río Seco has made a new advance with the arrest of a 20-year-old man. Thus, 17 people are now charged in the case.
Everything began to come to light last July after the disappearance of a 14-year-old girl, who was eventually located in Santiago del Estero thanks to the geolocation of her cell phone.
Specifically, it was the analysis of that device and other seized phones that allowed the Justice to identify contacts and order the successive arrests.

The prosecutor Analía Cepede, in charge of the investigation, confirmed that the last apprehended individual has already been charged and will be transferred to the Cruz del Eje prison in the coming hours.
As the investigation progresses, the most complex judicial situation falls on José Villarreal, former advisor to the former provincial legislator Ramón "Cañito" Flores. Due to the recent information added to the case, the prosecution has expanded its charges for repeated offenses.
Villarreal already had a complaint from 2020 made by his own stepsister, and with the new evidence, it is estimated that he attacked at least five victims.
