Delegate arrested for sexual harassment against a 14-year-old during Carnival is released in ES

A civil police delegate arrested for sexually harassing a 14-year-old girl during a Carnival celebration in Apiacá has been released provisionally, subject to several restrictions following a custody hearing.

A civil police delegate named Adhemar Pereira Fully, aged 40, was arrested in the act on Sunday, February 15, for sexually harassing a 14-year-old girl during a Carnival party in Apiacá, located in southern Espírito Santo, Brazil. Following a custody hearing on February 17, his arrest was converted into precautionary measures rather than a permanent detention, and he was released without having to pay bail. This decision allows for the opportunity for further investigation while imposing certain restrictions on his movement and activities.

The judicial measures imposed on Fully include prohibitions against leaving the local jurisdiction without court permission, mandatory attendance at all legal proceedings with an obligation to keep his address updated, and restrictions against frequenting bars and similar establishments. Additionally, he is required to present himself to the competent court with personal documentation within five business days. These measures were put in place to ensure compliance and mitigate any risks associated with his potential flight from justice.

This case adds to a troubling history for Fully, who was previously indicted for involuntary manslaughter and driving under the influence after a separate incident. The implications of this case highlight the ongoing concerns regarding public safety, especially given the offender's role as a law enforcement officer, which brings further scrutiny to the police department's internal handling of such serious allegations.
