A knowledgeable judge sentenced a former member of the National Police who was convicted of the crime of violent sexual act to 10 years and 8 months in prison, after evaluating the evidentiary material presented by the Attorney General’s Office.

The sentenced person is Kevis, 28 years old, who on the date of the events was working on the Medellín Metro.

The investigation established that the case occurred on September 10, 2022, within the Hospital Station, one of the stops with the highest flow of users in the system. That day, the convicted man ordered a 19-year-old high school assistant to go to the security room, a space intended for uniformed personnel to rest.

The victim reported the incident, which allowed the initiation of a disciplinary and criminal process that culminated in the conviction.

The sentence was imposed in the first instance, but the defense of the former uniformed man decided to appeal to the Criminal Chamber of the Superior Court of Medellín, seeking to review the judicial decision.

The Prosecutor’s Office highlighted that this case shows the importance of timely complaints and permanent surveillance within institutions where there is a hierarchical relationship. He also recalled that aggressors who take advantage of their role or authority face aggravating circumstances in criminal proceedings.
