As previously reported, former WWE and AAA star Alberto El Patron was arrested last Monday after his wife made an emergency call, reporting that she was a victim of domestic abuse.
According to Milenio, El Patron was formally charged with repeated domestic violence but was released after reaching a financial settlement with his wife for 1.13 million pesos (approximately $65,000). The report noted that the judge found sufficient evidence for a trial, and El Patron was facing a prison sentence of one to seven years on the charges. However, his defense suggested an agreement.
As part of this agreement, El Patron must attend rehabilitation therapy, cover damages, and have no contact with the victim. He must also comply with these terms over a six-year period, with a compliance hearing scheduled for October 29th. The case will remain under judicial supervision until all conditions are met.
El Patron was suspended by the Mexican promotion The Crash following his arrest, which occurred less than a month after he launched a new wrestling promotion in Mexico, LM52, alongside Dr. Wagner Jr. He has previously faced accusations of domestic violence from past partners, including Saraya.
In addition, he was charged with four counts of sexual assault and one count of aggravated kidnapping related to allegations that he assaulted a woman after accusing her of infidelity, forced her to "wear a dress and dance for him," and eventually violently sexually assaulted her over a 16-hour period. Those charges were dropped in December 2021, reportedly after a witness went missing.
