An official in the Chilean prosecutor's office in Santiago confirmed that Gomez is wanted in Chile's capital for investigation of child sex abuse allegations. A warrant was issued for his arrest on April 22, the official said.
Though Gomez's family has denied these allegations. On Monday, Gomez was joined by his two daughters and wife in the intensive care unit of the hospital in San Juan province.
