Horacio Grasso, a former police officer from Córdoba, Argentina, now faces additional legal troubles as he has been accused of sexual abuse involving a family member. This latest allegation comes on top of existing charges of femicide, where he allegedly murdered a 22-year-old woman and hid her body in his apartment. The new accusations, stemming from a complaint by a relative, involve sexual abuse with aggravated circumstances and the use of drugs.

The case was brought to light by prosecutor Ingrid Vago, who is handling the sexual integrity crimes against Grasso. According to the victim's report, the alleged abuses took place between March and August 2021, during a time when Grasso was under house arrest related to the femicide charge. Despite the seriousness of the situation and the nature of the allegations, Grasso continued to receive certain legal benefits and was not promptly returned to custody, raising concerns about the judicial handling of such grave accusations.

This situation highlights issues within the Argentine justice system, particularly concerning the treatment of serious crimes like femicide and sexual abuse. It also draws attention to the need for systemic reforms to prevent such cases from being mishandled. The combination of these charges puts immense pressure on Grasso's defense and could potentially lead to more severe repercussions for him in both criminal and societal contexts.
