La Derecha Diario All the details of the detention regime that Juan Darthés must comply with in Brazil
The actor must serve the sentence following the court ruling that came after years of legal proceedings
The Brazilian Justice system upheld the sentence of six years in prison for Juan Darthés, who will serve his sentence in a semi-open regime for the sexual abuse case against actress Thelma Fardin. This decision was made after the actor's guilt was confirmed, as he was accused of rape in 2018 by the actress, who in her complaint alleged that the abuse occurred during a tour of the youth series Patito Feo in Nicaragua in 2009, when Fardin was 16 years old and Darthés, 45.
The semi-open regime, to which Darthés was sentenced, is a penitentiary system that seeks to facilitate the social reintegration of convicts. It allows inmates to leave during the day to work, study, or attend educational activities, but they must return to prison at night. To monitor their departure, convicts must use electronic devices, such as an ankle bracelet, which track their presence outside prison. Additionally, those who demonstrate good behavior can access temporary leaves.
The judicial ruling comes after years of legal proceedings in which Darthés always vehemently denied Fardin's accusations. After the complaint, the actor moved to Brazil, where he continued facing the trial. The sentence is an important step in the judicial process that has also had a significant impact on the actress's life.

After the sentence was upheld, Thelma shared an emotional message on her social media, visibly moved by the resolution of the case. "It's a very moving day for me. I'm in São Paulo, I just left the trial hearing where five judges once again found my abuser guilty," the actress expressed, sharing her sense of justice finally achieved after such a long wait.
"It was very restorative for me to hear that my word and all these years of putting myself out there were worth it," she clarified, referring to all her years of struggle since 2018, during which she faced criticism and revictimization that she managed to overcome.
The actress's sentence, which involved three countries: Argentina, Brazil, and Nicaragua and also included 11 witnesses who testified virtually, came to an end.
