Just days before the Alberto Del Rio criminal trial was slated to finally commence, court records were updated this afternoon to reflect that the case was closed today after a hearing.
The court records reflect that earlier today, there was a missing witness and that the charges have dropped. Del Rio's bond has also been returned. The case is officially closed and he is free and clear going forward from all criminal liabilities in regard to this case.
Chucuan, 44, was arrested on 5/9/20 after a victim went to San Antonio, Texas authorities, stating that on Sunday 5/3/20 at 10 PM, Chucuan allegedly became angry with her and physically assaulted her after accusing her of infidelity. When the victim would not admit to the infidelity, Chucuan allegedly slapped her "across the head" several times. The victim also alleged that Chucuan "forced her to wear a dress and dance for him" and that when she refused and he told her not to start crying because if she did, "he would take her son and drop him in the middle of the road somewhere."
The arrest affidavit stated that the woman alleged Chucuan had sexually assaulted her and that she had her injuries documented via photographs.
At the time, The FOX affiliate in San Antonio reported, "Police said Rodriguez Chucuan then tied the woman's hands with boxing straps, put a sock in her mouth and sexually assaulted her for several hours, using various objects. According to investigators, he also punched her in the back during the assault, causing visible injuries. The victim told detectives she does not remember much after he placed his hand around her throat."
TMZ later reported additional details that brought the accusations into a much more disturbing light, stating that the victim reported the attack started at around 10 PM on 5/3/20 and that it lasted over 16 hours, ending on 5/4/20 on 2:30 PM. The victim went to the police the same day with TMZ's report noting that the responding officer saw bruises on her face, arms, legs and neck. The victim alleged that Chucuan attempted to burn her passport and smashed her laptop computer and cell phone. TMZ reported that the victim, "..also claims Del Rio attacked her, causing multiple injuries and left her, 'feeling woozy and dizzy from the hits to her head.' " The victim told police she was afraid and intended to leave San Antonio as soon as possible.
It should be noted that several months ago, a woman issued an apology via social media for what Chucuan's family has been going through since the arrest. Chucuan's brother responded, claiming on his own social media that it was an admission that the charges were false. Chucuan has stated publicly that the woman who made the allegations against him has dropped her claims and that he expects the situation to be wrapped up as soon as possible. As of today, the charges were dropped.
Since departing WWE, Chucuan has wrestled as Alberto el Patron in Impact Wrestling and internationally. Patron returned to performing as a professional wrestler earlier this year.
