Interpol Issues Blue Notice Against American Photographer Facing Sexual Assault Charges in Colombia

According to Gabriela Marbella González, model and content creator, an American citizen who goes by the name Jesse Allen Stream, asked her to work for his professional projects in Medellín and Copacabana, a town on the outskirts of Medellín, Antioquia. While their early interactions were professional, González claims he later started making inappropriate advances. As part of their arrangement, on August 17 last year, she was in a rural property in Copacabana, when the alleged attack occurred. González alleges that Stream, under the influence of drugs, assaulted and raped her.

González filed a formal complaint with the Office of the Attorney General of Colombia on the day of the incident, but she has expressed frustration over the lack of progress in the case. She feared that other women may also fall victim to Stream. Furthermore, she reported being targeted online, with her accounts hacked and her posts about the assault repeatedly taken down.

González alleges that Stream, under the influence of drugs, assaulted and raped her.

“Unfortunately I was a victim of a situation that any woman should ever face,” she mentioned in a video she published on her social media accounts where she detailed how the events occurred. It also highlighted her concerns about delays in the investigation and the lack of action against the alleged attacker, but the case gained public attention after the viralization of the video.

In October 2024 the Mayor of Medellín, Federico Gutierrez, announced the Office of the Attorney General of Colombia was handling the case. “We want to highlight at this time that there is already an arrest warrant against the American citizen Jesse Allen Stream for violent sexual access. It is very important that justice is done. Full support for Gabriela, who made the decision to report her case not only to the authorities but through her social media accounts,” said Gutierrez in a press conference.

According to Gutierrez, it is believed that Jesse Allen Stream might have been in Panama during the end of September, last year. He added that international efforts were added, as regardless of where he is, whether in Colombia or in any country in the world, Interpol had also issued a blue notice against him.

“The Police is joining the efforts to advance in the investigative process. We reject this type of gender-based violence,” said Major Deisy Aponte, head of the Women, Family and Gender Strategy of the Metropolitan Police to the Medellín newspaper El Colombiano.
