Scandal in the Prosecutor's Office: a prosecutor is investigated for archiving investigations for sexual harassment and abuse against children. Blamed the victims for the abuses

The Colombian Attorney General's Office is investigating Fiscal Margarita María Rueda for improperly closing dozens of cases involving sexual abuse and harassment against children between 2018 and 2020. According to the investigation, Rueda used arguments such as 'atypical behavior,' 'impossibility of identifying victims,' and 'non-existence of the incident' to close these cases, often blaming the victims for the abuse. The Fiscalía claims that these actions were part of a strategy to reduce workload and create false results, leading to potential impunity for perpetrators. In some instances, Rueda reportedly described acts like touching intimate body parts as 'acts of protection and well-being' rather than abuse. The case has sparked significant controversy and legal proceedings against her.
