Andrea Ojeda, the young woman known on social media as “La Peki” arrived this afternoon at the Police Area Command in Caguas to sue for assault and domestic violence against world boxing champion Juan Manuel “Juanma” López.
The influencer, whose Instagram profile has more than 110,000 followers, was making arrangements for an agent of the Division of Domestic Violence of the Criminal Investigation Corps (CIC) to initiate the investigative process against the boxer.
Earlier in the day, the young woman reported that the athlete had beaten him on multiple occasions, hung him and even squeezed his “private parts” in stories posted on his social network.
“I left Juanma because he is an abusive man. He is an abuser, he is a man who has problems with alcoholism. When Juanma drinks, he transforms into a man who is not. He is a man who has problems, who becomes films to the head of insecurity, “La Peki said.
The young woman accompanied her statements with some photos in which she appears with blows in her eyes as a result of alleged beatings by the boxer.
The photo montage includes the statement “Here is my beautiful relationship and the beautiful makeup that Juan Manuel López Rivera alias Juama the champion did to me.”
“I kept quiet all the time. I went to the barracks many times and cried and cried and didn’t report it thinking about his children, not doing him any public harm and what was coming after but it was over. I got tired, “he said.
The young woman also posted in a story on her Instagram profile a video allegedly recorded by Lopez in which she lost control, insulted her and tried to grab and assault her.
The video includes the phrase “here they have their champion If tomorrow I get dead he killed me”
“I’ve been thinking for a long time if I was going to do this. I’m shaking. I need to do it to bring the message that I’m real and that women are valued. I want women who are going through something (similar) not to be silent. and let them know that they are not alone, ”he added.
Lopez, 38, has not been arrested.
the spokesman tried to contact boxer Juan Manuel Lopez to ask for a reaction to the complaint but so far there has been no response.
Lopez had previously been charged with domestic violence in 2015, when his then-partner, Geraldine Crespo, sued in San Juan for suffering a facial injury resulting from a stroke.
At the professional level, the boxer was champion in the 122 and 126 pounds. Throughout his career he has achieved a record of 36 victories, 32 of them by the fast track, six defeats and a draw.
López’s last professional fight was in May 2019, when he recorded a draw against Emiliano Martin García.
