Cancun, Q.R. — A Cancun psychiatrist with a two million peso reward for his arrest has been captured. The psychiatrist identified by police as Edgar “N”, was wanted for the rape of a minor in 2022.
The minor was a patient of his who claimed in September of 2022, rape on several occasions. Local authorities offered a reward for his arrest. On Thursday, the State Attorney General (FGE) who were offering the two million pesos, said Edgar “N” was captured after ongoing police work.
The FGE “offered a reward of two million pesos to anyone who could provide effective and reliable information that would contribute to his arrest. No one claimed the reward, as he was captured by agents of the Investigative Police of the Prosecutor’s Office, following various field, technological, and office investigations,” they said in a statement Thursday.
Edgar “N” was captured by FGE personnel in coordination with the National Guard. Edgar “N” was arrested on an outstanding warrant “for his alleged involvement in acts that may constitute the crime of rape against a minor victim,” they explained.
“The incidents for which Edgar “N” is being investigated occurred on September 19, 2022, when the victim went to the psychiatrist’s office, with whom she was undergoing therapy.
“That day, the suspect inappropriately touched her and subsequently committed the rape, which, according to the victim, had already occurred on other occasions.”
The FGE said Edgar “N” was captured on the night of July 2 during the execution of a search warrant at a Cancun home on Chilam Balam Street in the Lomas Virreyes subdivision.
Edgar “N” was arrested and facing charges for rape in 2023, however, a judge ordered him house arrest at which time he vanished. The initial 500,000 peso reward for his capture was increased to two million.
