Damián was arrested three hours later. The evidence was overwhelming. The private investigator had done an impeccable job. There were recordings, documents, testimonies.
The trial lasted six months. Publicized. Painful. But necessary.

Now, three years later, I run my father’s business. I hired the private investigator who helped me find out the truth.
Together, we have created a foundation to help women who are victims of abuse and romance scams.
