Montiel’s accuser claims to have been drugged and raped before being threatened by relatives and associates of the accused. She has since said in a video posted on social media: “I am Carolina, a model and hostess and survivor of group sex abuse in which the principal author was Gonzalo Montiel, who scored the last goal in the World Cup. It was his birthday and he invited me to his home. We were getting to know each other. They drugged me until I was unconscious. That was proven during the investigation, that and my screaming during the party. Gonzalo raped me. I spent a long time looking for lawyers. All of them wanted to negotiate. None wanted to go to trial. I give thanks to the foundation which provided me with psychologists and psychiatrists and my lawyer Raquel.”
