57. On February 29, 2008, Ms. Rojas Marín underwent a forensic medical examination and a psychological assessment.61 The medical examination determined that the presumed victim had: (i) recent extragenital traumatic injuries caused by someone else with a blunt instrument, and (ii) older anal fissures “with signs of a recent unnatural sexual act.”62 While, the psychological assessment concluded that: (i) the presumed victim required psychotherapeutic support, and (ii) suggested that the presumed aggressors should undergo forensic psychological evaluation.63 58. On March 6, 2008, Ms. Rojas Marín made another statement at the Casa Grande Police Station.64 On that occasion, she clarified that the complaint filed was for “rape and other violations,” and again described what had happened. 65 59. On March 24, 2008, the prosecutor decided to open a preliminary investigation against the police agents of the Casa Grande Police Station for the offense “against sexual liberty by rape,” against Azul Rojas Marín.66 60. On March 31, 2008, the police authorities of the Casa Grande Police Station issued a report indicating that the different complaints made by the presumed victim contained contradictions because she had told the media that, at the Police State, “they took her mobile telephone and wallet, without mentioning a sum of money,” while in the complaint, she described the type of mobile telephone and that the wallet contained 150 soles. In addition, on one occasion, she had stressed that “a police agent tried to forcibly introduce a rubber baton in the anus,”67 and in another statement she indicated that one of the police agents “forcibly introduced the rubber baton.” 68 The report indicated that, from the foregoing, “it is presumed that the complainant […] injured [her]self in order to cause anal injuries, merely to harm the police agent who arrested [her] and the police agents who took [her] to task for behaving disrespectfully inside [the] police station where [s]he remained […] [for four] hours.”69 They also mentioned that it should be taken into account that one of the agents presumably involved “was in charge of police investigations relating to [Ms. Rojas Marín’s brothers] who were implicated in [a] murder.”70 61. On April 2, 2008, the prosecutor ordered the opening of the preliminary investigation for “the offense against sexual liberty by aggravated rape” and abuse of authority against the three police officers indicated by the presumed victim, considering that there were “indications Cf.
