Fugitive for rape is arrested while trying to flee Porto Velho
A man wanted for sexual crimes was apprehended by Federal Police in Porto Velho while attempting to escape.
The Federal Police in Porto Velho arrested a man on Thursday, who was considered a fugitive from justice, during a failed escape attempt. He was found trying to board a bus and was already convicted of vulnerable rape and producing sexual abuse scenes involving minors. The arrest was made under a warrant issued by the local court handling crimes against children and adolescents.
The arrest highlights ongoing concerns related to sexual offenses against minors, as the accused was already under the legal system's scrutiny for serious crimes. Following his apprehension, he was transported to a Federal Police facility before being sent to the state prison system, where he remains at the disposal of the judiciary. This incident underscores law enforcement's continuous efforts to track down individuals who evade justice, especially those involved in offenses against vulnerable populations.
In light of this arrest, the Federal Police have issued an alert to parents and guardians, urging them to be more vigilant regarding their children and adolescents, both online and in their physical surroundings. They recommend supervising the usage of mobile phones and computers and being conscious of any changes in behavior. The police emphasize the need for open discussions about the potential risks children might face in today's digital age, which signifies an important step in safeguarding youth from potential abuse.
