A 57-year-old man posing as TV producer was arrested on charges of kidnapping and raping two sisters aged 13 and 14 in Berisso.

Luis Leiva worked as a taxi driver and used his knowledge of the neighborhood to contact young people, who were promised jobs in the program “Passion for Saturday.”

That was how he met these sisters, lured by the offer agreed to a “casting” in the man’s house.

Once there, the girls could not get out and have been abused by the fake producer, the parents said.

“He forced them to be with him,” said the mother, and also claimed that the son of the assailant, an 18 year old young man, was involved in the abuse.

The girls spent several days captive in a shed behind the house of the accused, located on 142 St. between 7 and 8, in Berisso.

During a search, police found the children in a shed with signs of having been abused.
