Carlos Alcides Fernández is a 37-year-old military captain recently detained for alleged sexual harassment and abuse of authority involving a 22-year-old cadet at the Military Academy. The accusations emerged following an incident reported to authorities, leading to his arrest and subsequent preventive detention at the Military Prison of Viñas Cué. This case marks a significant moment in addressing military misconduct, as it is reportedly the first public case of sexual harassment reported since the current Defense Minister took office.
