Woman reports assault, claims police asked her to forgive attacker: 'It's not fair'

A woman seeking to report a physical assault claims she encountered significant obstacles and irregularities at the El Agustino police station in Peru. Fiorella Chávez Mora, 26, alleges that officers were reluctant to take her statement and, in one instance, asked her to excuse her attacker.

It's not fair that they do this to people who suffer aggression; it has to be clarified.

Chávez Mora reported that the assault occurred on the morning of June 11, when Jeyco Jean Pierre Rivadeneyra Villalta, 27, allegedly entered her home without consent and struck her in the face. The attack reportedly followed her refusal to lend him money days earlier. When she went to the police to file a report, she claims officers did not properly document her account.

"It's not fair that they do this to people who suffer aggression; it has to be clarified," Chávez stated. She recounted one officer's response during her statement: "'Okay, but forgive him, maybe he lost his temper and you'll sort it out later.'" Furthermore, she claims the station is withholding a copy of the forensic medical report that would confirm signs of violence on her body.

Okay, but forgive him, maybe he lost his temper and you'll sort it out later.

Chávez is calling for intervention from the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Women to ensure a transparent process. She expressed fear for her safety, noting that her alleged attacker, despite being taken to the police station after the incident, was later released. She is concerned about her rights and the lack of proper procedure in her case.

Where are my rights?
