In Presidente Dutra, located 347 km from São Luís, a man has been arrested for allegedly raping two adolescents aged 12 and 13. The apprehension took place as part of an investigation by the Special Women's Police Station in the municipality. The incidents reportedly occurred on February 2, and authorities acted upon a judicial order to locate the suspect, who was found in the Colinas Park II neighborhood.

The charges against the individual not only include the rape of minors, which is a severe violation of Brazilian law, but he is also suspected of the crime of 'satisfaction of lascivia'. This term in Brazilian criminal law involves actions taken to derive sexual pleasure at the expense of another's sexual dignity, often targeting minors or individuals incapable of giving consent. The seriousness of such allegations highlights the ongoing issues of sexual violence and the protection of vulnerable populations in Brazil.

The man is currently in custody awaiting judicial proceedings. The case underscores the need for vigilant law enforcement and community awareness regarding the safety and rights of young individuals, particularly in preventing and addressing instances of sexual assault and abuse. It also raises questions about the societal responses to such crimes and the support mechanisms available for victims in the region.
