Gabriel de Sá Campos, a 30-year-old leader of the Igreja Batista Filadélfia in Guará, has been formally indicted by the Tribunal de Justiça do Distrito Federal e Territórios (TJDFT) for charges of sexual harassment and rape of minors. This indictment comes after a police investigation revealed that these crimes occurred between 2019 and 2024, involving victims aged 10 to 17 years. Campos is reported to have committed offenses against eight young individuals, including instances of sexual assault against vulnerable minors.

The accusations against Campos have serious implications not only for the victims, who have bravely come forward to seek justice, but also for the community and the church he led. The investigation highlights ongoing concerns regarding the protection of minors within religious institutions and the potential for abuse of power by those in positions of authority. The case has attracted significant attention given Campos' close ties to the church leadership, as he is the son of the pastors who preside over the Igreja Batista Filadélfia.

Gabriel de Sá Campos was arrested on December 19, 2025, and his arrest was converted to preventive custody on January 12, following mounting evidence against him. His transfer to the Centro de Detenção Provisória I (CDP) reflects the serious nature of the charges, as authorities seek to ensure justice for the victims. This case serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by minors, especially within environments where faith and trust are pivotal, and emphasizes the need for vigilance in protecting the youth from sexual crimes.
