In a distressing case that has shocked the community, a minor in Chipao , located in the Lucanas province of Ayacucho , became a victim of continuous sexual abuse for five agonizing years. The perpetrators, who held significant positions of trust in her life, were none other than her stepfather , Joel Ramos Condori , and her maternal grandfather , Lucio Cocche Carrasco . This horrific ordeal began when the girl was merely six years old and continued until she was eleven , occurring in various private homes , rural settings, and even on the public thoroughfare , all while the young girl remained silent about her trauma.
The investigation into this heinous crime was spearheaded by the Mixed Lucanian Provincial Prosecutor’s Office , led by prosecutor Khimer Ericson Cauti Chocce . After collecting substantial evidence, the court delivered a verdict of life imprisonment to both Condori (37 years old) and Carrasco (58 years old) for the crime of sexual rape against a minor . Moreover, each was ordered to pay 20,000 soles in civil reparations to the victim, a financial gesture intended to provide some measure of support amidst a trauma that cannot be quantified.
According to the accusation presented by the prosecution, Condori committed sexual abuse from 2015 to 2020 , exploiting his authority and using threats to instill fear in the child and maintain her silence. He warned her that dire consequences would follow if she dared to speak out, which led to severe psychological trauma. The gravity of her silence underscores the immense pressure and fear that victims often face in such disturbing circumstances.
Conversely, Cocche Carrasco was found guilty of violating his granddaughter between 2015 and 2017 in secluded areas, taking advantage of their familial relationship to overcome the child’s defenses. His actions transpired near a river close to her home , illustrating the calculated nature of his assaults in locations that were difficult for others to access, thus heightening the risk of detection.
It took years for the young girl to muster the courage to finally disclose her traumatic experiences. She eventually broke her silence, recounting her ordeal to family members amidst tears. This prompted a police complaint , which set the judicial process into motion. Thanks to the collection of psychological, medical, and testimonial evidence, both Condori and Cocche Carrasco ultimately received life sentences, marking a crucial turning point in the young girl’s battle for justice.
