The presiding judge of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, Brazilian Roberto Caldas, was accused by his ex-wife, Michella Marys, for alleged domestic violence. At the same time, he was also accused of sexual harassment by two nannies of his children.
CRHoy.com tried to verify the version of the Court whose headquarters are in Costa Rica, but at the time of this publication, no response had been obtained. The accusation was made public last Friday in the media in Brazil.
Caldas arrived in the IAHR Court in 2012, after being appointed to fill a vacancy in that institution by the former president of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff. In 2016, Caldas climbed to the presidency of this body that comprises 20 countries of the Organization of American States (OAS).
This accusation is the second blow against a member of the IACHR, because Eugenio Raúl Zaffaroni, another judge, was questioned in his native Argentina in March for an alleged case of procuring, baptized in that country as “The Puticlub de Zaffaroni.” Apparently Zaffaroni headed a network of procuring in different parts of his country, which operated under the modality of prostitution in six of his apartments.
