A security guard named Jesús Manuel ‘N’ has been arrested in Mérida, Yucatán, under allegations of pedophilia against a minor in Tabasco, with his capture resulting from a collaborative operation involving federal agents and local authorities. The arrest occurred after the victim's mother reported the crime to the Tabasco Attorney General's Office, leading to an investigation which was initiated on July 19, 2025, in the municipality of Paraíso.
The authorities acted on a court order issued by a judge from Tabasco, which came after a thorough investigative effort to locate the suspect.
