  "account": "Naldy Saldaña, the former lead singer of the cumbia orchestra La Bella Luz, exits the bathroom during a rehearsal in Lima. A half-bald man, who is twice her age, gets in her way, lunges at her and tries to kiss her while tropical music plays at full volume. Saldaña covers her chest with both hands and tries to escape, but he holds her tight. In another video, recorded just minutes later, the man immobilizes her and touches her in various parts while she struggles in vain. The man is César Sánchez Chavesta, musical director and keyboardist of the group.",
  "summary": "Videos in which interpreter Naldy Saldaña appears being fondled by the musical director of the La Bella Luz orchestra have scandalized the Peruvian population. The Attorney General’s office is investigating the case.",
