Arrested since Tuesday in Rancagua, Chile, former player Jorge Valdivia was the target of a new report of an alleged sexual crime. This Wednesday, the Public Ministry confirmed the second accusation. The episode would have occurred on Friday, after an encounter with a woman in a restaurant.
“We confirm that yesterday a new complaint was filed against Jorge Valdivia for the crime of rape. We will not provide any further information to protect the victim,” stated the local Public Prosecutor’s Office.
After the second accusation, lawyer Erika Maira resigned from defending the 41-year-old former athlete and was replaced by Paula Vial. This Wednesday, the new defense lawyer was with Valdivia, who also received a visit from her brother Claudio.
Valdivia is in pre-trial detention for 90 days, the duration of the investigation, after being reported by a tattoo artist to have committed sexual crimes. The former player denied the accusation and stated that he had a consensual relationship with an adult woman.
The Chilean reportedly met the woman last Sunday, at a Peruvian restaurant in Santiago. In her statement, the alleged victim stated that she did not remember anything after consuming alcoholic beverages there and, the next day, when she contacted Valdivia, she was informed that they had had sexual relations.
An idol of clubs such as Palmeiras and Colo-Colo, Mago retired from the field in July 2022 and currently works as a sports commentator on a Chilean broadcaster. He was suspended from professional activities until the investigations were completed.
