Man sentenced for raping 10-year-old daughter arrested in João Pessoa
A man sentenced for raping his 10-year-old daughter was arrested in João Pessoa after being a fugitive since his conviction.
In João Pessoa, a man has been arrested following a conviction for the sexual abuse of his 10-year-old daughter. The arrest took place on Thursday morning in the Mangabeira neighborhood, as reported by the Civil Police. The crime occurred in 2024, and it was the child's family who brought forth the accusations against him. This information prompted the police to initiate a focused investigation.
The man had been on the run following the issuance of a warrant for his arrest in December 2025 after his conviction. He was found and apprehended through coordinated efforts by the Child and Adolescent Crimes Repression Delegation (DRCCIJ) and the Cyber Crimes Specialized Delegation (DECC). Such specialized actions are crucial in addressing crimes against minors and ensuring that offenders are brought to justice.
This case highlights ongoing concerns in Brazil regarding the protection of children and the judicial system's response to sexual crimes against minors. As awareness around these issues grows, the case may lead to further discussions about prevention and legal measures to protect vulnerable populations from abuse.
