Paiva Case: Family Sensual Abuse Under Judicial Investigation

Judicial hearings are underway in the case of retired colonel and former army spokesperson Wilfredo Paiva. He has been charged with aggravated sensual abuse trinc incidents that occurred in December 2025. The victim was his fifteen-year-old daughter.

According to initial reports, the colonel allegedly entered the young woman's room while she was sleeping and performed oral sens on her, waking her up during the night. This scenario has sparked intense legal and social debate.

Defense vs. Prosecution

The prosecution, led by Maximiliano Sosa, has moved the case forward to preventive detention. However, Paiva's defense has submitted expert studies, including medical reports from the Faculty of Medicine at Udelar (University of the Republic). These documents argue that there was no intent in the defendant's conduct, seeking to refute malicious intent behind the acts.

The 'Sleepwalking State' Defense

One of the most recurrent points in the defense is the argument regarding a sleepwalking state. This claim attempts to frame the events within an involuntary episode, although the initial narrative points to a clear sequence of events that culminated in the victim waking up. The defense appeals to this possibility to mitigate the severity of the alleged act.

The court continues to analyze these opposing arguments, keeping the case in a critical judicial phase where testimonies and medical evidence compete to determine guilt or the involuntariness of the events.
