Rogelio Reyes has been sentenced to 12 years and 8 months in prison following his conviction for attempted femicide and domestic violence against his former partner, the acclaimed professional wrestler Stephanie Vaquer.
The incident that led to these severe charges occurred in March 2023, when Vaquer filed a criminal complaint detailing a violent physical assault. She reported that Reyes had attacked and attempted to strangle her during an altercation at her residence in Mexico City.
Following the report and the circulation of evidence showing injuries to her neck, authorities acted swiftly, apprehending Reyes in Aguascalientes on March 10, 2023, shortly after he had performed at a Lucha Libre event. He was subsequently transferred to the Reclusorio Oriente in Mexico City, where he remained in preventive detention throughout the duration of the lengthy judicial process.
The charges were prosecuted forcefully due to the severity of the assault and the evidence presented regarding the life-threatening nature of the strangulation. Throughout the proceedings, Vaquer remained vocal about her pursuit of justice, receiving widespread support from fans and advocacy groups.
On May 5, 2026, the court officially found Reyes guilty, and the subsequent sentence of over 12 years reflects the gravity of the offense under Mexican law.
