Daniela Berriel held the accused responsible for any attack on his integrity and that of his relatives, and assured that the judicial officer who heard the case and released the accused was influenced by the family of the alleged abuser. Actor Gonzalo Peña, another of those involved in the attack, remains at large.
The drama facing Daniela Berriel has become more complicated, after learning that the main suspect in her rape has been released. For her and her defenders, a great injustice has been done and they are confident that the Mexican judicial system will clarify the situation.
The judge would have released him, after comparing a DNA sample of the accused with the DNA extracted from the traces of rapist fluids that were found in the victim’s body and determining that they did not match.

This was one of the main fears of the Mexican presenter and model, who publicly denounced her rape through social media and revealed the identity of her two attackers, one of whom is the actor Gonzalo Peña. After speaking openly about the abuse he suffered in Acapulco, Guerrero, a year ago, the victim expressed last March via a short Instagram video the fear he had of the Mexican authorities releasing his alleged rapist, Eduardo N, as his family is very powerful in this American nation.
“As many will know, on March 14, 2020, Eduardo Ojeda Franco raped me in Acapulco. Thanks to the fact that I made the complaint public, the authorities made his speedy arrest. Since last Monday, Eduardo he is under arrest. Today is a crucial day in this process, as today, a year later, the judge dictated whether he will take the process on release or closed, ”he said on this occasion.

Crying, but confident and convinced that she will reach the end of her case, Berriel gave a press conference on Saturday, April 10, in which she expressed to a local media group that she fears for the integrity of she and her relatives, and from now on blames the accused and his wealthy family for any attack or intimidation they receive.
The defense, represented by lawyers Óscar Ramírez and Javier Lee, will file an appeal, as it considers that “there were irregularities in the process and in the expert evidence, because at no time were they allowed to appear for analysis. and much less, to present its own expert in genetics “, according to details the site botana.com.

“There were certainly irregularities and probably corruption in the court and the family,” Berriel told reporters. “The judge violated my rights by not allowing my legal counsel to have a chance to fight the ruling, a document manipulated by forms and time, and they were so certain of the resolution they were going to be favorable, that their family , escorts and other people, were waiting on the outskirts of the Court, “he added.
The young woman, visibly affected, said she knew at least two more victims of Eduardo “N” and invited them during the conference to overcome fear and denounce. Berriel has received the support of his fans, who applaud his bravery.
