The latest regarding Alberto Del Rio’s legal case and his comments on the situation

Alberto Del Rio (Jose Alberto Rodriguez Chucuan), who is facing one count of aggravated kidnapping and four counts of sexual assault after being indicted back in October 2020, had a trial which was scheduled to begin on Monday, August 2nd following a previous delay.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com is reporting that Del Rio’s trial has been delayed yet again. The new trial start date is Monday, October 25th.

If Del Rio is found guilty of the charges, he could potentially be sentenced to life in prison.

In a recent interview Shakiel Mahjouri of CagesideSeats.com, Del Rio addressed the status of the case…

“It’s still going. It’s still pending. But we’re just waiting. Everything is looking good. I have said what I needed to say in the past. Unfortunately, I can no longer talk about it because every time I say something, it affects my case. I went out and I said what I was approved to say. That ended up hurting me a little bit. All I can say is that the truth always comes to light. We’re doing good. The authorities in Texas are doing their job. My legal team is doing a fantastic job. It’s just a matter of time. It’s really difficult for me and my family to hear those things. Everybody talks about the five years to life in prison. That sounds horrible, but why does nobody say, ‘Or he’s going to be proven innocent.’ I have already said it. She has already withdrawn her charges. He has already talked to the DA’s [District Attorney’s] office and told them the truth. She apologized and gave us a public apology and everything. Everything people need to know is out there. I share a lot of stuff in the past but unfortunately, I can’t talk about it. What was supposed to be over last week got delayed because somebody got upset and I understand [it]. Me being me, a high-profile case. It’s difficult. As I said in my previous interviews, call me whatever, but I didn’t do any of those things.”

“When it comes to cases like that, especially with the women’s movement and everything going on when it comes to family law, it doesn’t matter if I drop the charges or she drops the charges. The state follows it and it doesn’t end until the state says that it’s over. It doesn’t matter if someone goes and drops the charges. It’s up to the state to decide when this is over. To me, I just respect the law in the great state of Texas. To me, it shouldn’t be like that.”
