Monsalve's Phone: 'Companionship' Searches and GHB Raise Questions in Rape Investigation

Monsalve's Cell Phone: Searches for 'Companions' and GHB Raise Concerns in Rape Case Chilean authorities are investigating accusations of rape against former Undersecretary Manuel Monsalve. A forensic analysis of his cell phone, exclusively obtained by T13 Reportajes, reveals searches that have raised serious questions. The investigation focuses on searches conducted before and after the alleged incident. The report details searches related to 'companionship' services and the drug GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate), often called the 'date rape drug'. "The searches for GHB are particularly concerning," says Carolina Acuña, the journalist who presented the findings in the T13 video. "This drug is known for its incapacitating effects and is frequently used in sexual assaults." The video also shows Monsalve accessing a dating website, ColombianCupid.com, and viewing profiles of women aged 20-35. These activities, along with the searches for GHB, raise questions about Monsalve's actions and their potential connection to the rape accusation. The case continues to unfold, with authorities pursuing the investigation. The revelations from Monsalve's phone raise serious ethical and legal concerns for a high-ranking government official.
