Mérida, Yucatán – In a shocking case of child abuse, a mother and her partner were arrested on January 18th in Mérida, Yucatán, on charges of domestic violence and sexual abuse against their twin daughters. The couple, identified as Daniela Monserrat, 24, and Eyder K. G., 31, allegedly subjected the girls to years of terror, starting when they were just five years old.
The investigation began after the twins confided in their grandmother about the abuse, which led to the filing of a police complaint by the girls’ father. The State Investigation Police (PEI) and the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Yucatan (FGE) collaborated on the case, leading to the arrest of the couple.
Eyder K. G., the stepfather, faces charges of aggravated sexual abuse against his partner’s twin daughters, while Daniela Monserrat is accused of domestic violence and complicity in the alleged crimes.
If convicted, Eyder could face up to 20 years in prison for the crime of sexual abuse alone, along with a fine ranging from $600 to $3,000. The case will be reviewed by a judge in the coming days.
