Prosecution of Mexican Congresswoman Alhely Medina Hernández for Child Abuse in Hidalgo
In a shocking turn of events, Alhely Medina Hernández, a Morena congresswoman from Hidalgo, Mexico, is currently under criminal investigation for sexual abuse and aggravated rape against two minor children. The initial complaint was filed by the victims' mother, Jacqueline, in April 2022 in the municipality of Zimapán, Hidalgo.
The Procuraduría General de Justicia del Estado de Hidalgo (PGJEH) and the Federal Prosecutor's Office for Crimes of Violence Against Women and Human Trafficking (Fevimtra) are conducting a joint investigation into the case. The charges against Medina date back to April 2022.
Medical evidence presented by the victims' legal team includes biopsies and tests confirming physical trauma and a positive result for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in one child. The victims and their mother are currently under federal protection in a secure shelter.
In addition to Medina, her brother-in-law, Arturo Williams Trejo, and his wife, Bertha Eva Medina, are also implicated in the case. The victims have identified all three adults as perpetrators.
During a court hearing, Judge Jesús Anim Ope Islas ordered preventive detention for Williams and Bertha, while Medina was granted provisional freedom under strict conditions.
Two additional suspects remain fugitives, with Interpol Red Notices issued for their arrest. The search results found do not provide relevant information on this specific case, making it necessary to consult official legal sources or news outlets in Mexico, especially those focused on Hidalgo, for recent updates.
In response to the allegations, Morena's National Commission of Honor and Justice has suspended Medina's political rights and removed her from party roles.
