The 35-year-old rape suspect, who was already convicted in 2017 of the same crime, was arrested this Wednesday (1) by Garuva County Police Station in north Santa Catarina. A man is suspected of raping two nieces who lived in the same house.

According to the teenagers, after their uncle served seven years in a strict regime for the same crime (committed in 2015), he switched to open regime and began living with them in the same house at the beginning of last year. .

After repeated abuses by the author, the victims turned to the Board of Trustees for help, and these facts were subsequently registered with the civilian police.

The investigation was launched a month ago, as soon as the Board of Trustees notified the Civil Police about this matter. The police then opened an investigation into the case, including hearing from child welfare advisers, and asked for the man’s preventive detention and a search and seizure of electronic devices.

The court authorized it, and MP Eduardo Defaveri and his team executed the warrant this Wednesday afternoon at the address of the suspect, Rua Deodoro de Carvalho, in the center of Garuva, once again placing the man behind bars.

At the police station, police officers accessed the suspect’s phone and found pornographic photos and videos of children (explicit sex) stored in smartphone applications.

In addition to arrest for the crime of rape of a defenseless man, the man will also answer for the crime under Art. 241-B of the Children and Adolescents Act who acquire, possess, or possess in any way a photograph, video, or other form of recording containing sexually explicit or pornographic scenes involving a child or adolescent.

The suspect was taken to the Joinville Regional Jail. “He will be jailed for a long time, as he is a recidivist,” Defavery expects.

The investigation into the rape of his unprotected niece continues, given that important evidence has been obtained during the searches. The suspect’s mother should also be investigated for inaction in the face of abuse.

“We are investigating not only those who take actions, but also those who should avoid actions but do not. Grandmother knew some facts and ignored them. He knew about these problems and invited his son to live near where his nieces already lived. Therefore, he must also answer for the rape of the vulnerable,” adds the delegate.
