Overview
- On Wednesday, Vitor Hugo Oliveira Simonin and Bruno Felipe dos Santos Allegretti turned themselves in at Rio precincts, a day after Mattheus Verissimo Zoel Martins and João Gabriel Xavier Bertho surrendered; the four were taken to Benfica prison.
- The alleged assault occurred on January 31 after a 17-year-old was lured by an ex-boyfriend, also 17, whose case proceeds in juvenile court under the ECA without a preventive detention order to date.
- Building cameras recorded the victim's arrival and the suspects' entries and exits, while recovered WhatsApp exchanges document the setup of the meeting and timeline.
- A forensic exam reported hemorrhagic infiltration, abrasions and blood in the vaginal canal, along with bruises on the back and buttocks, and investigators collected samples for DNA analysis.
- Institutional repercussions include the removal of state subsecretary José Carlos Costa Simonin from his post, the suspension of a university student accused for 120 days, and a footballer's contract termination, as police examine additional complaints from other teenagers.
