According to MP Eduardo Defaveri, the investigation began in July 2022 when the father of one of the victims reported that his children had been abused by the man, believed to be a member of the family.

“He had very close relationships with his family and with other people in the same circle of friends. […]. The cases started in 2011 and since then there have been several victims that we have been able to identify,” says the delegate.

For the civilian police, the victims said that after the violence they were forced to watch sex videos and threatened. Fearing, they did not condemn the man.

Years later, victims reported severe abuse they were subjected to, including during family reunions. The author took advantage of the family’s distraction to commit sexual acts against them. The crimes took place both in the home of the accused and in the homes of the victims themselves.
