Pará Court Upholds 32-Year Sentence for Singer Bruno Mafra in Child Sexual Abuse Case

Overview

• The Pará appeals panel, which ruled Thursday, unanimously upheld Bruno Mafra’s conviction and set a 32-year sentence to start in a closed prison regime.
• Mafra remains free under Brazilian procedure while his lawyers pursue new appeals and claim due‑process flaws and improper disclosure from a case under court secrecy.
• Judges cited consistent testimony from the two daughters, corroboration from relatives, and a sexological report that confirmed the abuse.
• Prosecutors said the assaults happened between 2007 and 2011, the allegations became public in 2019, and a first‑instance conviction was later affirmed on appeal.
• One victim spoke after the ruling about a seven‑year push for justice and the pain of “burying a parent in life,” and she urged other survivors to report abuse.
