The Court of Justice of Paraíba is set to review the habeas corpus request for influencer Hytalo Santos, who is accused of producing sexual exploitation content involving minors, on Tuesday (10).
The Court of Justice of Paraíba (TJPB) is scheduled to hear a habeas corpus petition filed by the defense of influencer Hytalo Santos and his husband, Israel Vicente, who are facing accusations of creating sexual exploitation content involving minors. The hearing will take place on Tuesday at 9 AM, and according to defense attorney Felipe Cassimiro, this request is new and distinct from previous habeas corpus petitions denied in September and November.
The defense argues that the delays in the legal process have impeded the establishment of a sentencing and completion of the criminal proceedings against Santos and Vicente. The case has garnered media attention due to the serious nature of the allegations, particularly those concerning the welfare of minors involved in the content produced by the accused. The presiding judge for this upcoming session will be Desembargador João Benedito, who will examine the merits of the new habeas corpus request.
Hytalo Santos and his husband were arrested in São Paulo on August 15, under suspicion of filming videos that exploit minors. This case not only raises concerns about child safety and exploitation but also about the responsibilities of influencers in the digital age. The upcoming ruling on the habeas corpus is crucial as it could influence the direction of the trial and the potential legal repercussions for the defendants, as well as impact public perceptions of influencer accountability.
