A university publication indicates that the victim was a student who applied to an assistant’s degree; the teacher was a member of the court and summoned her to his office, where it is presumed he committed the humiliation.
“Once the complaint was received, the UMSA was part of the process since the incident took place on the campus of the university. For the next stages of the process, more evidence and witnesses will be provided, in addition to psychological tests carried out by the Municipal Comprehensive Legal Service (SLIM) and the Forensic Investigations Institute (IDIF) that endorse and give truth to the denounced fact ”, indicates a statement from University.
