Thiago Gomes, a councilman in Crato, Ceará, is facing allegations of assaulting his ex-partner, a woman aged 35, only five days after their relationship ended. The incident reportedly occurred when Gomes forcibly entered her home, attempting to strangle her before pushing her to the ground. As of now, he has not been found by law enforcement for questioning regarding the accusations.

The incident was reported to the police by the victim who stated she had recently separated from Gomes and described the violence in detail, prompting an investigation under the domestic violence laws in place through the Maria da Penha Patrol, a unit specifically designed to combat violence against women in Brazil. The report highlights the ongoing issues of domestic violence in the region and raises questions regarding the mechanisms of protection available to victims.

This case underscores the serious nature of domestic violence and the need for comprehensive legal frameworks and community support systems to assist victims and hold perpetrators accountable. As investigations continue, it also reflects societal challenges in addressing the violent behavior of individuals in positions of power who exploit their status, further emphasizing the importance of vigilance and intervention in such relationships.
