After analyzing the elements collected, the Justice decided to charge the man identified with the initials C.J.C.M. as the alleged perpetrator of “repeated crimes of especially aggravated sexual abuse in real repetition with repeated crimes of aggravated sexual abuse.” The accusation reflects the severity of the events and the multiplicity of episodes reported.
