Juan Darthés

Juan Rafael Pacífico Dabul (born 28 October 1964), known as Juan Darthés, is a Argentinean-Brazilian former actor and singer who spent most of his life and professional career in Argentina.

Biography Juan Darthés was born as Juan Rafael Pacífico Dabul in São Paulo, Brazil, on October 28, 1964. He is the son of the actress Leyla Dartel (pseudonym of Leyla Dabul) and the tango singer Oscar Fuentes (pseudonym of Juan Pacífico) (1930–2014). He started his acting career in the eighties. His initial telenovelas were produced by Channel 9. He moved to Channel 13 in 1998, to work in Gasoleros, which made him famous. Los ricos no piden permiso featured a love triangle between the characters of Darthés, Araceli González and Luciano Castro.

He also started a career as a Tango music singer in later years. Rivero's accusations were followed by the actresses Natalia Juncos and Ana Coacci, who denounced similar actions during the filming of Gasoleros back in 1999. Darthés also accused them of defamation.

In December 2018, the actress Thelma Fardin, who was also part of the cast of Patito Feo, accused that Darthés raped her when he was 45 and she was 16. The event would have taken place in a hotel in Nicaragua, when the cast was making an international tour for the Patito Feo CD. She announced it during a press conference, joined by a statement signed by several Argentine actresses. Darthés denies all of these sexual misconduct accusations.

On June 11 of 2024, the Brazilian judiciary found actor Juan Darthés guilty and sentenced him to six years in prison for raping actress Thelma Fardin when she was a minor. Amnesty International announced that the Brazilian court made this determination in a second-instance ruling, following an appeal of the initial court's decision, which had acquitted the actor.
