From YNOT EUROPE http://www.ynoteurope.com/ – The presumption of innocence stands out for its absence in the case of director Pablo Lapiedra, arrested for employing underage girls in explicit scenes in Colombia.
Rivers of ink began to run, yet we still know little about the arrest and subsequent imprisonment of Pablo Lapiedra, adult entertainment director and ex-husband of U.S.-based Spanish porn star Lupe Fuentes and Lucia Lapiedra, now famous under the name Miriam Sanchez. Lapiedra also is the ex-brother-in-law of popular Spanish porn actress María Lapiedra.
Pablo Lapiedra was arrested in his native Barcelona March 17 and awaits a judge’s decision about whether he will be extradited to Colombia to face charges he and Fuentes deceived at least one 16-year-old girl into explicit performances and provided her with falsified identification documents.
Ramiro Lapiedra, brother of the accused and also a porn actor, director under the name Torbe, believes his brother is innocent. He told Terra Noticias he is convinced his brother and Fuentes are victims of “deception by girl of 17 years who looks 20.”
On his own blog, Torbe wrote in his usual outspoken way, "They are charging that [my brother and Fuentes] falsified the [age-verification documents] of the actresses. Really, you’d have to be a total asshole to do that, and I doubt Pablo is [an asshole].”
Time and justice will continue to move slowly, but for now doubt remains on all sides.
If he can prove there is only one girl and that she desceived him, maybe he is right.
Anyways is good to know there is another TORBE in spanish porn, the other also had child porn charges.

Ramiro LaPiedra, brother of Pablo Lapiedra, is not Torbe. They are not the same person. Torbe is Nacho Allende, director, producer, actor and webmaster of PutaLocura.
Torbe has not said that Pablo Lapiedra is innocent. He said that the Spanish press was prejudged Pablo Lapiedra as they did when he was accused.
I was about to say–Torbe’s not locked up….
This has been a two year long investigation, not just something one day someone suddenly said hey let’s go screw with some guy and his wife. They spent a lot of time and no doubt a ton of money to look into the charges. So why are so many people so quick to write it off as the government being confused. You really think that after two years of looking into this they could be wrong or just confused? I don’t think so.
I think even if Pablo Lapiedra turns out to be guilty as hell, its not necessarily the case that Lupe Fuentes did anything. So far, all the evidence against her seems to be her ex-husband pointing the finger. The truth will come out in the trial I suppose, though I have my doubts about the state of the Columbian justice system.
