The definition is in line with what the Crisiuma 5th Attorney’s Office demanded in a public civil lawsuit filed by then-incumbent Attorney Fred Anderson Vicente.

According to the action, the people who will be welcomed have cognitive impairments or suffer from mental illnesses that prevent them from living independently, without the supervision or accompaniment of professionals or responsible adults.

Today, these people – three women and two men – are in an unsettled situation and need care in an appropriate institution due to their vulnerable health and social and family conditions.

Case filed with MPSC following rape of a vulnerable

According to the State Ministry, these facts were brought to the attention of the prosecutor of Crisiuma in the form of copies of a police investigation into the alleged crime of rape of a vulnerable person against a person with a disability.

According to investigators, the suspect in the crime was the husband of the tutor of the alleged victim, as well as the owner of the nursing home where she was.

Taking into account this information, the prosecutor’s office initiated administrative proceedings and demanded that a social study be carried out at the place of residence. At the scene of the incident, a social worker of the prosecutor’s office established that, in addition to the alleged victim, four more disabled adults lived.

According to the sociological study, they were all in the curator’s institution until mid-2019, when they began to live in the back of her house, in a small house, in a situation contrary to the law.

Residents sleep without the presence of a responsible adult and remain alone in the residence during the day, according to a public civil lawsuit.

In addition, they do not attend APAE or engage in any other recreational or educational activities, meaning they are at the mercy of the tools necessary for autonomy, physical and psychosocial rehabilitation, and the guarantee of fundamental rights.
