Marylin Pereda Llerena

Marylin Pereda Llerena is an adjunct prosecutor in Peru who recently garnered attention for her role in the case involving a minor accused of extortion. She presented evidence linking the adolescent to the crime, resulting in the minor's preventive detention under the newly enacted Law 32330, which allows for the prosecution of individuals aged 16 and 17 for serious crimes traditionally reserved for adults. Her actions highlight ongoing debates about juvenile justice and the implications of this controversial law in the Peruvian legal system.
