Statement by Stephen Andrianakis of Stephen Andrianakis & Associates, Solicitors representing Mr. Andres Puig.
I confirm that Mr. Andres Puig committed suicide yesterday afternoon.
Mr Puig was the subject of a criminal investigation, the facts of which related to a meeting which was entirely consensual. The woman’s mainstream dating site profile stated she that she was 18 years of age, she was in fact 16 at the time of first talking online and 17 when they met soon after.
There were also photos taken consensually, my instructions are that none of which were shared with any third party by Mr Puig.
Mr Puig voluntarily provided to the investigators the passcode to his phone and computers to the investigators.
The allegations were denied and the charges were to be vigorously denied.
