The case of radio host Pablo Ross has revved up memories of past sexual abuse and feminicides that have been heard in the Dominican judiciary. Fellow radio host Melton Pineda was criticized for his remarks on female attire, and others took the opportunity to criticize the Dominican Baseball League naming the next Dominican Baseball Championship to honor long-running president of the league, Leonardo Matos Berrido, who some 36 years ago was acquitted in the murder case of Edith Gomez.
Communicator Susana Gautreau said that machismo is an ideology here and mentioned several cases: “Los Melton, Los Pablo Ross, Los Matos Berridos, Los Gabriel Villanueva, Los Donni Santana, Los Odalis Ledesma, los Bernardo Aleman are among us with their machista mentality and attitude. They are people that have been investigated and that have public profiles.”
