Overview
- Santos’s lawyers filed a petition asking the judge to annul or cut his sentence by applying the ECA Digital rules popularly called Lei Felca.
- The original ruling cited a Superior Court view that used an open definition of pornography and allowed sensual online content to be treated as criminal.
- The new regulation defines pornography by intent and business model tied to explicit sexual display and exempts cultural expressions such as dance or music.
- A criminal law expert told g1 the argument could lead to annulling the pornography count or reducing the penalty, though no ruling has been issued.
- Santos and his husband remain in the Presídio do Róger as prosecutors keep the case under secrecy, and a separate labor suit alleges trafficking and exploitation.
