Chacaño gynecologist Gustavo Kumiega was detained for sexual abuse and malpractice

The police in Chaco province arrested Dr. Gustavo Kumiega, a gynecologist facing at least eight criminal complaints related to sexual abuse, medical violence, and malpractice. The arrest was ordered by prosecutor Mariana Echarri after searches were conducted at properties linked to the doctor in Resistencia. The investigation began following a formal complaint filed on September 29 by a 26-year-old woman, Karla Herrán, who alleged inappropriate behavior during medical procedures. Other women have since come forward with similar allegations, including claims of sexual abuse involving penetration. Evidence includes screenshots of conversations between the doctor and patients, such as messages suggesting inappropriate attention. One victim, Romina C., who lives abroad, reported an incident in mid-2022 at the doctor’s home. The defense lawyer stated that the detention order was issued verbally after the property search and confirmed that the accused remains in custody.
