Walter Gabriel Pérez (born 23 October 1998) is an Argentine former professional footballer who played as a left-back. Today he is serving a sentence of 11 years in prison for the crime of sexual abuse.[1]
Pérez, after signing from Proyecto Barcelona, began his senior career with Huracán.[2] The 2018–19 Argentine Primera División season saw the defender promoted into Gustavo Alfaro's first-team squad, with his professional bow arriving on 12 August 2018 during a goalless draw at home to River Plate; he was substituted off in place of Mauro Bogado after seventy-eight minutes.[3] [4]
In December 2019, Pérez was one of ten men who were arrested for a gang rape.[5] The incident took place in a rented house in Villa Carlos Paz, which the boys had rented for holidays. A few hours later, all 10, including Peréz' Huracán-teammate Federico Marín, were arrested and jailed for 'doubly aggravated sexual abuse' of a 18-year-old girl. After spending almost 8 months in prison, Peréz was released in September 2020.[6]
