Mr. Torres will be asked to testify before an audit committee of the Peruvian parliament over allegations brought to light last week by the TV show Beto a Saber that he was the mastermind of a ring that recruited supposed secretaries and other congressional workers to actually have sexual relations with parliamentarians.
The investigation by the Peruvian parliament adds to a preliminary investigation by the prosecutor’s office, which is ongoing, into the “alleged crime of sexual exploitation of women who have not yet been identified.”
Mr. Torres denied the accusation in press statements, calling on the Attorney General’s Office and the Congressional Oversight Committee to investigate.
He was forced to resign on December 13, three days after the shooting death of his former partner, Andrea Vidal, who was allegedly recruiting the ring’s prostitutes.
“Never in my life as a parliamentarian did I imagine that I would live a situation of this nature,” admitted Congress President Eduardo Saluana, who belongs to the APP.
