The 19-year-old said he would tell his sexual partners, "Relax, I¡¯m sterile¡¯. It¡¯s true".
He boasted about the fact that he has "never used" a condom.

His comments have sparked outrage. So much so, Irene Montero, the equality minister of the country has called for an enquiry into his claims. She has asked a prosecutor to find out whether Darrechi had actually deceived these women.
"Taking off the condom or ejaculating inside without consent is today sexual abuse," she wrote.
Quitarse el preservativo o eyacular dentro sin consentimiento es hoy abuso sexual y la Ley #SoloS¨ªesS¨ª lo reconocer¨¢ como agresi¨®n

"Bragging to 26million followers of something like this reflects the urgency of putting consent at the center. We will inform the Prosecutor¡¯s Office," she added.
If he is found guilty, he could be jailed for about one to 12 years if convicted to sexual abuse under a new law passed last month.
Naim Darrechi, meanwhile, has issued an apology for his statement.
"I want to say sorry from my heart, from my conscience. At times I don¡¯t realise the responsibility that I have and I get into trouble for my views. I am sorry."
