Justice advances in a case that shocked Valle del Cauca. Alexánder Prado was found responsible for multiple crimes, including extortionate kidnapping, violent carnal access, qualified and aggravated robbery, as well as aggravated and attempted extortion, after an investigation that showed his involvement in serious sexual abuse against 14 women between July and November 2022.
According to the evidentiary material presented by the Attorney General’s Office, Alexánder Prado contacted his victims through digital platforms or through deceptions that simulated informal transportation.
Once the women accepted the false offers, they were picked up by motorcycle and taken to remote places in Palmira, Cali, Candelaria and Jamundí. There they were threatened with death, beaten and subjected to sexual abuse.
