Case Javier B

Javier’s judicial conflict began in the summer of 2019 when he and his ex-partner had a bitter dispute over financial matters. She not only took the house keys but also strictly prohibited him from seeing their children. Even though they had not been living together since January 2018, Javier continued to see his children daily. The argument arose from Javier's refusal to transfer all his assets to her name. In her statement to the justice authorities, she claimed to have taken the keys due to "a misunderstanding or disagreement," but she refrained from telling the truth: that the conflict stemmed from her financial demands.

Javier B was detained twice: first without an arrest warrant on October 30, 2020, and again on December 13, 2022, after which he remained imprisoned. His pre-trial detention was changed to house arrest on Friday, July 19, 2024, one year, seven months, and six days later.

The judicial process has been riddled with irregularities. One of the most serious initial issues was the constant reclassification of charges: what the prosecutor initially labeled sexual abuse was inexplicably and unjustifiably reclassified as aggravated child molestation, prompting the judge to issue an arrest warrant.
Since the mother of his minor children initiated this process, she has presented no evidence or proof to support her accusations. Nonetheless, judicial authorities proceeded to detain him based solely on her statements.
To date, Javier is still under criminal prosecution for a crime he did not commit, which carries a potential sentence of up to 30 years in prison.

As of June 2024, five years have passed since Javier last saw his children. He fondly remembers June 21, 2019, when he celebrated Father’s Day with them (as seen in photos on his Instagram), unaware it would be the last time he’d see them for many years. His son was eight and a half years old, and his daughter was two months away from turning 13. From then on, their mother employed various means and narratives to prevent him from seeing his children, declaring that, legally, it would only be when they turned 18 and "only if they want to see Javier." She added, "The girl could see him in three years when she turns 18, but surely, it’ll be when she's 30." Tragically, like many fathers in this country, Javier suffers an injustice stemming from a judicial process built on falsehoods infringing not only his rights but also those of his children.

Javier is currently awaiting trial, which is expected to take place during the first half of 2025. Meanwhile, his children’s emotional and legal well-being remains compromised, with a bleak outlook.
