Mexican authorities said they arrested former soccer player Omar Bravo, |
|
45, on suspicion of child sexual abuse. |
|
|
|
The Jalisco state prosecutor’s office said in a statement that |
|
investigations indicate Bravo allegedly abused a teenage girl on |
|
several occasions in recent months and may have committed similar acts |
|
before. |
|
|
|
He was arrested during an operation in the municipality of Zapopan and |
|
was expected to appear in court soon. |
|
|
|
Bravo rose to fame playing as a forward for Chivas de Guadalajara, |
|
where he became the club’s all-time leading goal scorer. He also |
|
played for Mexico’s national team in the 2004 Athens Olympics and the |
|
2006 World Cup in Germany. |
|
|
|
The Associated Press could not immediately reach a lawyer for Bravo. |
|
|
|
On Bravo’s Instagram account, fans commented on his latest post from |
|
Sept. 8, which made no reference to the accusations. Some expressed |
|
sadness, while others said he was their idol and hoped the allegations |
|
were not true. |
|
|
|
The prosecutor’s office said it will continue its investigation. |
