Man arrested for virtual rape; young woman lived in fear for 9 years before summoning the courage to report him

A man was arrested in São Gonçalo, Brazil, for virtual rape and related charges after a victim, who had lived in fear for nine years, reported him.

A man named Ademir da Costa Verrheryen was arrested in São Gonçalo, Brazil, for charges including virtual rape, extortion, psychological violence, and stalking. The accusations stem from his actions over a nine-year period, during which one of his victims was only 11 years old when he began to threaten her online. The victim, who is now 18, reported that the perpetrator had used fake profiles to gain her trust in virtual games and social media, masquerading as a girl named 'Rayane' who appeared to be the same age as her. This manipulation intensified the victim's fear, silencing her for almost a decade.
