A popular lawyer in Peru has carelessly dragged himself into a scandal after he was caught having sex during a virtual court hearing.
In the video currently circulating, Hector Paredes, was caught stark-naked with a brunette as he forgot to turn off his camera during a hearing organised by a court in Pichanaki in the central Peruvian region of Junin on Tuesday, January 26.
Court officials and other lawyers looked on in shock as Paredes, who was supposed to defend members of a criminal organisation ‘Los Z de Chanchamayo’, aired an x-rated scene during a session which was being watched and recorded on a public live feed.
Although the brunette is yet to be identified, reports suggest that the lady is one of Paredes’ clients and could be identified soon.
“We are witnessing obscene acts which represent a violation of public decency and are aggravated by the fact they are being recorded nationally… I instruct the State Prosecution Service to launch an immediate investigation,” says the head investigating judge, John Chachua Torres as he was alerted that it was Paredes.
Further reporters revealed that Paredes was barred from any more involvement in the ongoing land trafficking, fraud and extortion case.
Paredes was also told he would face two separate probes, one by state prosecutors and another by his local bar association. [Marca/TheSun]
