Lieutenant Colonel Geraldo Neto, already facing charges for the femicide of his wife Gisele Alves Santana, has been accused of sexual harassment by a fellow police officer. The incident allegedly took place in the second half of the last year while he was still married to Gisele. The accuser, whose identity remains confidential for fear of retaliation, claimed that Neto attempted to kiss her and retaliated by transferring her to another battalion after she rejected his advances. This situation highlights the troubling pattern of behavior exhibited by Neto as he faces serious criminal allegations.

The officer's lawyer, José Miguel da Silva Júnior, described how Neto attempted to coerce his accuser into engaging in physical activities against her will, illustrating a broader issue of power dynamics within the police force. This case, which is under investigation by the Military Police's Corregedoria, suggests a concerning environment where women may be subjected to harassment without adequate protections. The new accusations come amid previous claims of moral harassment against Neto involving four other female officers in 2022.

Neto's alleged behavior not only reflects on his personal actions but also raises significant concerns regarding institutional accountability and the treatment of female officers within law enforcement. As these cases unfold, they will likely spur discussions around gender equality and safety in the military and police sectors in Brazil.
