Electronic ankle bracelet, social media ban, and exposure in videos: see cautionary measures indicated to Hytalo Santos by the rapporteur at TJPB

Influencer Hytalo Santos is undergoing a habeas corpus judgment that may result in his release with several precautionary measures imposed by the court.

Hytalo Santos, an influencer, and his husband, Israel Vicente, are facing a habeas corpus judgment by the Court of Justice of Paraíba (TJPB). On Tuesday, the case was reviewed by rapporteur João Benedito, who proposed a decision for their release under specific precautionary measures. However, another judge, Ricardo Vital, requested more time to consider the matter, indicating that there will be a continuation in the next session.

The proposed precautionary measures, as stated by Judge João Benedito, are deemed sufficient to address the judicial process's requirements. Among these measures are the imposition of an electronic ankle bracelet, restrictions on movement outside the municipalities of João Pessoa and Bayeux, and a prohibition on contacting the minors involved in the case and their families. The measures also include a halt on digital activities, a ban on the use of social media, and a restriction on appearing in videos produced by others.

This case highlights the intersection of influencer culture and legal scrutiny in Brazil, particularly regarding the responsibilities and potential consequences linked to social media presence. The precautionary measures reflect the court's approach to balancing the rights of the individuals involved with the safeguarding of minors and maintaining order within the community. The next session of the court will be critical in determining the final outcome for Santos and Vicente, as the outcome could set precedents for similar cases in the future.
