Man Sentenced to Five Years for Domestic Violence Against Pregnant Partner in Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — A judge has sentenced a man to five years in prison for domestic violence against his pregnant ex-partner in this coastal resort city, the State Prosecutor’s Office announced.

The conviction came after prosecutors presented sufficient evidence through the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Crimes Against Women. The case involved Samuel Atri Yeger, who authorities say committed verbal, physical, and economic abuse against his victim in the Bali neighborhood.

The court determined there was enough evidence to establish the defendant’s criminal responsibility and imposed the prison sentence. Officials said the case strengthens institutional actions against gender-based violence.

Seven Others Face Charges

In separate proceedings, seven additional individuals have been formally charged with domestic violence offenses across Quintana Roo.
