- Police detained Thiago Schutz in flagrante in Salto, São Paulo, on November 29 for alleged domestic violence, and he was released after a custody hearing under court-imposed restrictions.
- On December 1, authorities revised the police report to include attempted rape, and the Delegacia de Defesa da Mulher submitted a new request for preventive detention, according to the victim’s attorney.
- Protective measures now bar contact with the victim, require a minimum distance, and prohibit visits to her home or workplace, with additional bans on bars and nightclubs and limits on leaving the comarca.
- The IML report documented at least 11 injuries, including signs of defensive wounds, and a video recorded by the victim capturing threats was provided to investigators.
- The defense denies forced sexual conduct, claims he acted in self-defense, and says Schutz is cooperating with the investigation; media also note a prior 2023 case in which he became a defendant over threats to women.
