A mayor in Tacna, Peru has been detained for seven days pending investigation into allegations of indecent assault. The Fiscalía, Peru’s public prosecutor’s office, reported the alleged incident occurred during a Father’s Day event last Friday. The accusation involves an alleged physical aggression against a woman during the meeting. The judicial order for preventative detention allows authorities time to gather evidence and build their case. Further details regarding the alleged assault have not yet been released. The mayor’s legal team has not yet issued a public statement regarding the charges. This case is currently under investigation by the Poder Judicial, Peru’s judiciary branch.
