TX man allegedly had sexual relations with DJ girlfriend before death
A Colombian government prosecutor has revealed that the Texas man who is accused of killing his DJ girlfriend had 'forced' her to have intercourse before he beat and choked her to death. John Poulos, 35, made his second court appearance Friday afternoon in the capital city of Bogotá, just five days after the body of Valentina Trespalacios, 23, was found inside a suitcase in a dumpster. Poulos, the father of one boy and two girls in the United States, declined to plea guilty to one count of aggravated femicide and another of concealment, alteration or destruction of evidence of a crime scene.
'I am aware of my decision, and do not accept the charges,' he said. Daniel Gómez, the lead prosecutor appointed by the Office of the Attorney General, disclosed that Poulos (pictured center) attacked Trespalacios after he forced her to have intercourse and then repeatedly struck her body with his fists. He then wrapped his hands around her neck until he strangled her to death. 'There was a cycle of psychological violence that preceded the crime, which was represented in all the activity of jealousy and control over Valentina's social life,' Gómez said. 'You took her life as the result of a jealousy process.' Poulos appeared to be calm, at times leaning back on his chair and resting his hands behind his head while he sat next to his lawyer and a court appointed interpreter while Gómez made the shocking revelations. He added that Poulos bent Trespalacios' body in order to make her fit into the suitcase.
However, he left her head sticking out of the luggage bag and covered the bag with a towel. Gómez added that Poulos had hired a private investigator to follow Trespalacios. He said it was a 'behavior that must be understood as violent, given that it affected the physical, moral and psychological integrity of the victim, since it exploited her status as a woman.' On Sunday, Poulos was captured on camera placing the suitcase into the trunk of a Volkswagen Voyager in the garage of the Bogotá north side apartment building and then driving away. He drove to the south side of Bogotá, where he tossed the luggage bag inside a dumpster next to a park, and drove towards the airport. Before boarding a flight to Panamá City, Panamá, as part of his escape, Gómez said that Poulos threw away Trespalacios' cellphone at El Dorado International Airport.
Poulos' plan to avoid capture included the purchase with cash of two airplane tickets, one from Panamá City to São Paulo, Brazil, to throw off the Colombian National Police's international manhunt and a flight to Istanbul, Turkey, where he would connect to a plane to Montenegro, where there is no extradition treaty with Colombia. Panamanian immigration agents and the Interpol arrested him Tuesday night at Tocumen International Airport moments before he was about to board Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul. Poulos (pictuerd left) told authorities in Panamá that the defunct Medellín Cartel was behind Trespalacios' (pictured right) murder and that he had fled Colombia because cartel members wanted to kill him. Gómez explained to Poulos that if he decided to go to trial, he could be sentenced 500 to 600 months should he be found guilty of murdering Trespalacios. He could face up to 48 months in prison for concealment, alteration or destruction of evidence.
However, the prosecution left open an offer that would reduce the sentence to 375 months if he accepted a guilty plea for femicide as well as a reduction of 24 months for the other charge. The judge would have to accept the terms of the agreement and Poulos wouldn't be allowed to back out of it if he agreed.

Trespalacios' hairstylist, Veronica Jiménez, confirmed to DailyMail.com that Poulos (pictured) was married and had three children in the United States, but that that mother of the kids had reportedly filed a restraining order against him because he was violent. He got divorced in 2021 and had been dating Trespalacios for eight months and planned to marry her. Poulos' oldest son, Jackson Poulos, was only four years old when doctors diagnosed him with stage 4 Rhabdomyosarcoma in his GI tract and abdomen. The cancer is very rare, with only about 350 cases a year in the United States. In 2017, the child underwent a 13-hour operation in which the surgeon removed more than 150 tumors that were detected in his pelvis, sigmoid colon, appendix, spleen and gallbladder.
The boy was a special guest of former House Speaker Paul Ryan at the House Chamber for former President Donald Trump's message to a joint session of the United States Congress on January 30, 2018. Jiménez said that Poulos had become increasingly jealous and was upset with Trespalacios because she refused his demands to go public with their relationship on her social media accounts. Trespalacios had explained to him that her network was only to promote her DJ work. Poulos arrived at the apartment Thursday and moved in with Trespalacios on Friday evening. He accompanied her to a DJ gig early Saturday morning at Nexxus bar. A homeless person searching a dumpster for recyclables Sunday afternoon discovered a blue suitcase with Trespalacios' head sticking out from the side

Let’s see if they start up a campaign to ban cacs
They probably won't because he's not on social media promoting it. I like how you guys leave out the most important thing in why the passport breh had a campaign against him. You can get away with a lot of shyt if you move silently.

I think very deeply
What an animal. 
The average passportBro is either awkward as hell , ugly or a combination of both.Yuck imagine that fat, ugly cac on top of you just so you can get a green card.
or else they wouldnt be going to 3rd world countries to complain about american women , and make it their personality.
I been reading the spanish comments on tik tok vids about this , and they aint talking about white tourists only , they lumping all male tourists as
sexual deviants that go to colombia to do whatever they want without consequences.
well there's social media post and actually killing someone and having it be all over the news
no campaign yet thowell there's social media post and actually killing someone and having it be all over the news
People react to social media posts a lot more than a murder on the news. And he's going to jail. There was no repercussion for the passport breh other than the campaign. Come on. You trying too hard.
If you think social media post are a bigger deal that sex tourist coming down and murdering someone that’s on you
You should try harder
