Colombian player Johan Carbonero could go to trial for sexual harassment allegation

These are not easy hours for 22-year-old Colombian footballer Johan Carbonero, who plays in Argentine football for Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata, who is involved in a scandal after being reported for alleged sexual harassment.

It should be noted that these events were recorded in 2020, so that the person born in Santander de Quilichao could go to trial following the application of Virginia Bravo, who is the holder of Functional Instruction Unit 7 of La Plata before the Guarantee Court 2 of La Plata.

Former Once Caldas was denounced in November 2020 by a worker at the hotel where the player was staying at the time, who claimed that she was harassed by the Colombian winger.

The application must be studied by the Guarantee Court 2 of La Plata, which will take an indefinite period of time. At the moment, the club where the coffee grower is active have not commented on it.

After his outstanding performances with Once Caldas, Johan Carbonero aroused the interest of several international football clubs but eventually turned to El Lobo, where he arrived on loan in 2020 with an option to buy.

In his first season Carbonero scored six goals and reported with an assist, which motivated the Argentine club to reach an agreement with the Blanco-Blanco, to acquire the entire pass in early 2022.

Despite the problems off the courts, Johan Carbonero has left good impressions in gaucho football, where he has received praise for his great technique and deployment on the field as his coach, Néstor 'Pipo' Gorosito, has reiterated.

However, the player has lost ground at the start of the Argentine championship, since one is the undisputed starter of his team, and he has not shown his best version as in the last Gymnastics game against Talleres de Córdoba in which 2-1 won.

In his next outing Gimnasia y Esgrima will visit Atlético Tucumán for the 9th date of the Professional League Cup. Tripero is part of Zone A, where it occupies ninth position with nine units and negative seven in the goal difference.

This is not the first that a Colombian player has been involved in cases of sexual harassment, as in recent weeks the scandal broke out of Andrés Manga Escobar, who was sentenced to two years in prison in Iceland following a complaint by a woman who claimed to be sexually abused by former Millonarios player Atlético Nacional, Cucuta Deportivo, Deportes Tolima among other clubs.
