On October 24, the Criminal Chamber of the Paraíba Court of Justice confirmed the preventive detention of influencer Hytalo Santos and his husband, Israel Natã Vicente. This decision came after their conviction over the production and dissemination of sexual content involving minors. While the defense sought a habeas corpus prior to the conviction, the court ultimately found sufficient grounds to maintain their detention based on the severity of the charges and the potential danger to the minors involved.

The defense's response to the court's decision remains pending, as they have not yet issued a statement following the ruling. In earlier comments, the lawyers characterized the preceding conviction as 'odious and prejudicial,' suggesting a belief that the judicial system is not treating the case fairly. This highlights ongoing discussions in society regarding the treatment of influencers and the complexities surrounding legal issues involving social media and youth.

Additionally, the court had initially considered replacing the preventive detention with alternative measures, such as electronic monitoring and restrictions on social media use, yet the majority opinion favored denying these alternatives. This has broader implications for how cases involving influencers and child protection laws are adjudicated in Brazil, indicating a stringent approach towards crimes against minors.
