Mexicali, June 20. Saúl Alejandro "N", a Republican congressional candidate in Texas, United States, who is a fugitive from Baja California where he has an arrest warrant accused of raping a 15-year-old girl in Mexicali last February, was accused by a young American woman of having abused her in 2024 using a similar method: he hired her to work in a food business, invited her to consume alcoholic beverages and attacked her.
The Donald Trump-supporting congressional hopeful, who uses the slogan "Better vote Saul," paraphrasing the title of the streaming series "Better call Saul," recently posted a video on TikTok—which is no longer available—of more than four minutes in which he questions undocumented migration, criticizes migrant protests in the United States, and demands compliance with the laws.
Drugged and captive for 24 hours
Bruny Couvertier, the American victim originally from Calexico, recalled that in May 2024, after two weeks of working at a hamburger restaurant in Brawley, California, owned by Saul, he invited her to a nightclub with a colleague and without her realizing it, the alleged attacker drugged her drink.
"On May 18, 2024, Saúl spiked my drink, drugged me, kidnapped me, and kept me under his control for 24 hours," she recalled, noting that although she had no memory of what happened "because I apparently had the drug in my system," there were signs on her body that indicated sexual abuse and that she was familiar with it because she worked as a volunteer at a victim support center.
