Theo Metzger, from the Uruguayan basketball team, was dismissed by the Argentine Justice for a case of sexual abuse

This December 29, the National Criminal and Correctional Appeals Chamber-Room 7, resolved to “revoke the appealed decision, as soon as it was a matter of appeal and order the dismissal of Theo Metzger, with the mention that the formation of the present does not affects the good name and honor that he may have enjoyed (article 336, paragraph 2, of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Nation”.

The former Malvín player was prosecuted and seized as reported by Infobae from Argentina while defending Ferro Carril Oeste from that country.

The report at the time stated: “Following a request from prosecutor Leonel Gómez Barbella, Judge Paula González ordered the prosecution without preventive detention of the basketball player of the First Division of Club Ferrocarril Oeste, Theo Metzger, for considering him the alleged perpetrator of the crime of sexual abuse with carnal access to a 20 year old.”

Then he provides details of what happened in December 2020, for which the magistrate also seized his assets.

So, Metzger denied all accusations referring, in the first place, that “he could not believe that they accused him of sexual abuse, since he has two sisters, so he would never do something against the will of a woman.”

In May of this year, the same Argentine Justice revoked the prosecution of Theo Metzger for said complaint.

“The analysis of the evidence incorporated so far persuades the Tribunal around the need to deepen the investigation, before defining the procedural situation of the accused, particularly in view of what was stated in the questioned decision, in that ‘the doubt does not authorize the early resolution of the process’, so that the order brought on appeal will have to be revoked”, it was said in the ruling to which he had access Referee.

In this way, with the final ruling on Thursday, the case was closed and the Uruguayan basketball player was dismissed.
