Santo Domingo. – The parents of three minors accused of sexually abusing a teenager on the kilometer 14 of the Duarte highway came out in defense of their children, denying the accusations and alleging that it is a setup against them. Johani Domínguez, mother of one of those indicated, maintained that the victim’s mother “knows that her daughter lied” and that even in previous conversations she would have admitted that the relationship was consensual.

“She came to talk to me and told me that what hurt her was that her daughter arrived without a penny, not that she had been forced,” she declared. Domínguez also denounced that the accusations have damaged the reputation of young people who, according to her, are students and athletes in the community.

For his part, Restituyo Valdés Batista, father of another of those indicated, explained that he has audios and screenshots of conversations that, according to him, would demonstrate that what happened was part of a planned encounter between the teenagers. “There was no rape there, what there was was a consensual relationship. There are messages where they were even scheduling,” he indicated, while rejecting the accusations that he had tried to bribe or pressure the complainant’s mother. Both parents agreed that the accusations are part of a defamation campaign against their children and demanded that the authorities investigate the facts impartially. “We want these guys’ names cleared, because what’s being done is unfair,” they insisted.
