How was the capture?
“She, presumably, would also be the biological daughter of the aggressor, according to a DNA test carried out at the request of the Prosecutor’s Office and which was also part of the elements of the charge,” the Ecuadorian Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement. “The prosecutor also mentioned the report of the psychological evaluation that was carried out on the little girl, which determined emotional consequences due to the sexual assault,” the document added.

When the capture occurred, the general commander of the National Police, Fausto Salinas, pointed out that it was possible due to the coordination of that organization, the Prosecutor’s Office and the American embassy. “Acts that violate the rights of children and adolescents will not go unpunished.”
This is how the prosecution acted
His arrest was part of the “Zero Impunity I” operation. Regarding the way in which he acted, the Police explained that he sought to “create an emotional relationship and through deception, coercion and force he forced them to carry out acts of a sexual nature.” The authority added that “this vulnerable group was transferred from Quito to different cities in Ecuador and to the neighboring country of Peru.”
Regarding the minor who became pregnant, the Prosecutor’s Office indicated that Juventino de Jesús would have convinced her mother to give her up for adoption, taking advantage of her economic condition. Furthermore, he is not the only victim, since there are cases that link him since 2011 (to date there are five investigations).

The Police pointed out that, in 2019, the aggressor went to a care center with the minor, now a mother, and assured that she had been a victim of sexual abuse. However, when she was asked for documents, she justified herself with a supposed ‘loss’, to which she filed a false complaint and escaped.
The suspect had escaped
“The victim and her daughter were rescued and admitted to a foundation in Peru and following a few months transferred to Ecuador, being enrolled in a protection system (…). The Specialized Unit for Boys, Girls and Adolescents of Ecuador, in coordination with the Prosecutor’s Office, participated in investigations focused on gathering information to locate the alleged perpetrator.
According to the prosecutor, the place where the individual sought to gain the trust of his victims was in a church in Villaflora in the south of Quito.
