ROME – Juan Darthés, known in Italy for the role of Leandro Díaz Rivarola in the series ‘Patty’s World’, was sentenced to 6 years in prison for the rape of the actress Thelma Fardin , colleague on the set and interpreter of the character of Giusy. This was decided by a court in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

After the sentencing, Fardin and Amnesty International held a press conference. “This is an unexpected scenario because I had almost lost hope and faith in justice. Even though my case got justice, that is not the case for all cases and it must be a hope for all people,” the actress said .

The trial against Darthés began in 2021, two years after Fardin filed the complaint for aggravated sexual abuse in December 2018 in Nicaragua, for facts dating back to 2009, during the tour of the series, when the actress had 16 years. Darhtes, after the first complaint, gave an interview for Mexican TV reversing the actress’s accusations: “I am deeply shocked and indignant. She killed me with this thing. Now I’m only interested in shedding light on the truth and let people know. If it is proven that what you say is true, I will kill myself. I have never molested or raped any girl.”

The actor was then acquitted in the first instance by Brazilian justice about a year ago.
