After a young 24-year-old journalist made a complaint of sexual abuse against four players of Velez Sarsfield: Sebastián Sosa, Abiel Osorio, José Florentín and Braian Cufré, the prosecutor in charge, María Eugenia Posse, opened legal actions and notified the accused. In the coming days, a crucial step in the process will take place: the creation of a Gesell Chamber for women, in order to collect more evidence and testimonies.
Despite this progress in research, the lawyer of one of the accused, the goalkeeper Sebastián Sosa, released important details about his client’s situation. According to Ernesto Baaclini, Sosa’s case is framed by an accusation of “participation”, which implies a specific interpretation of article 46 of the Penal Code. This suggests that Sosa would have cooperated in the execution of the act, although not necessarily in the same way as the other players involved.
The situation of Sebastián Sosa
In his statements to the Tucumán channel El Ocho, Baaclini delved into his client’s position: “The prosecutor considers him a person who participated in cooperation, but not necessarily in relation to the fact that involves the other Vélez players.. My client firmly maintains that he did not commit the act in question, he pleads innocent and we are committed to proving it.”
Furthermore, the lawyer highlighted the emotional impact that this process had on Sosa: “He is completely sure of his innocence and is receiving psychological support to cope with this difficult situation.” It is evident that this legal process deeply affected the goalkeeper, who is going through a difficult time as he seeks to prove his innocence.
On the other hand, Baaclini also pointed out that, within the classification of the crime of sexual abuse, Sosa’s participation differs from that of the other defendants. Although the situation is serious, Sosa’s specific participation could imply a reduction in penalties if he is found responsible.
Finally, Baaclini stated that he had no contact with the complainant and explained: “For this crime, people must be detained; After the Gesell Chamber, the prosecutor can take some type of measure. Starting from the Gesell Chamber, each lawyer will provide his or her evidence in order to elucidate this issue. The main evidence is his (Sosa) word, today we will have access to the case.”
