Leónidas Puelles Guerrero

Leónidas Puelles Guerrero is a convicted sex offender who, in 2012, was sentenced to life imprisonment for the prolonged sexual abuse of his stepdaughter, which lasted almost a decade and resulted in multiple forced abortions. His case has drawn significant attention due to the involvement of current president José María Balcázar, who previously represented Puelles as his attorney in attempts to overturn his sentence.
