An allegation of aggravated sexual abuse has been made against Argentine footballer Gonzalo Montiel, who scored the winning penalty in the 2022 World Cup final shootout against France.

The victim’s lawyer, Raquel Hermida, said that the alleged abuse took place during Montiel’s birthday party on January 1, 2019, and involved “sexual abuse with penetration aggravated by a group of people” in the player’s house.
