“A year and a half ago I decided to file my last complaint because it takes time for me to speak and report. This person is conducting a program on Telefe. She is very well known. The Prosecutor’s Office told me that I was not going to be able to do anything because the cause prescribed. He is a conductor and musician. I went out with him from the age of 14 to 17″, he assured on the air of A la tarde (América).

In his account, Lucas commented that his mother knew what was happening: “My mom has been aware of that. She met him. I would go from my house to her house and she would call me at her house to ask if she had arrived. That level of morbidity. He was 32 and I was 14″.
“I reported it in 2020, in the middle of the pandemic. The hearing was through Zoom and the prosecutor, with her hand on her heart, told me ‘we can’t do anything because the case prescribed, if you want to make this case visible in the media, you have to keep in mind that you’re not going to achieve anything from us because it prescribed’. That word is the story of my life: ‘prescribed’, added the clearly anguished young man.
