Allegations Reshape Narrative After Rescue in Colombia

In the ongoing narrative surrounding the rescue of children who endured a harrowing forty days in a Colombian jungle, new, troubling rumors have surfaced. Authorities arrested Miller Manuel Ranoque Morales, acting on orders from the attorney general’s office. He is identified as the father of the Mucutuy siblings rescued on June 9 during the so-called Operation Hope and as the stepfather to two other girls. Public records allege mistakes of sexual abuse involving two minors, with one case described as involving sexual access, according to judicial authorities in Florencia, Caquetá, a city located roughly 600 kilometers from the capital. The gravity of these allegations has intensified scrutiny around Ranoque Morales.
