The comedian and businesswoman Clara Seminara expressed her annoyance after learning that the Judiciary has decided to annul the sentence against Enrique Espejo, known in the artistic world as Yucca .
In this regard, the interpreter, who had been sentenced to three years of suspended prison for inappropriate touching, now faces the possibility that the legal process against him will restart from scratch.
What did Clara Seminara say about the annulment of Yuca’s sentence?
Clara Seminara, who waged a six-year legal battle against Yuca for inappropriate touching that she denounced, shared her frustration with Trome, after learning of the court decision. According to the businesswoman, the annulment of the sentence occurred due to the absence of the model Fátima Segovia, known as ‘The Chuecona’ who did not appear as a witness at the trial.
“After six years of fighting, they have declared the sentence we had void and now the whole process must start from scratch. And they say that the sentence is voided because Fátima Segovia, ‘Chuecona’, did not appear to testify as a witness when she was required to do so,” said Clara Seminara.
The actress stressed how exhausting the process has been for her, and although she was disappointed by the setback in the case, she said she was determined to continue seeking justice.
“We will continue with the process from scratch, I want justice to be done. This is surprising, I have been with the process for six years and this is happening. It is because of these things that many women remain silent, do not report, because there is no justice. This process is exhausting, but I will continue fighting,” she said.
What did Jorge Benavides say about Clara Seminara’s complaint?
During the trial, questions arose about the support provided by Jorge Benavides the well-known Peruvian producer and comedian, who was the boss of Clara Seminara and ‘Yuca’ on the show where the alleged incidents occurred.
