Capoeira teacher arrested on suspicion of raping a teenager in Formosa

A capoeira teacher has been arrested in Formosa, Brazil, on suspicion of sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl he taught, as part of a police operation.

In Formosa, Brazil, a capoeira teacher has been arrested under suspicion of raping a vulnerable minor, specifically a 12-year-old girl who was one of his students. This arrest was part of Operation Fides Fracta, conducted by the Special Police Station for Women's Assistance (Deam), with support from the local Papiloscopic Unit. The operation took place on Saturday morning and aimed to prevent and address such crimes against minors.

The investigation began in early 2025 after evidence surfaced indicating that the teacher had formed a relationship with the young girl, which raised serious concerns regarding the nature of their interactions. The police stated that the accused had cultivated a relationship of trust and proximity with the victim, leveraging his position as her instructor. Following thorough investigative procedures, the suspect has been indicted for the crime of vulnerable rape, and the case has been forwarded to the judicial authorities for further action.

The identity of the suspect has not been made public, and as a result, the G1 news outlet has been unable to locate legal representation or comments from the defense. This incident highlights ongoing issues related to the protection of minors and the accountability of adults in positions of trust, particularly in educational and mentoring roles.
