A man identified by the initials J.L.G.S, 40, was arrested on Thursday (9), on suspicion of having sexually abused his wife’s niece. The case took place in the rural area of Caraúbas do Piauí, 275 km from the capital Teresina. The victim is 10 years old.

Investigations by the Civil Police of Piauí indicate that the suspect frequented the family’s home and committed the crime when he was alone with the girl. He also allegedly coerced the child, giving her money so she wouldn’t tell her about the abuse.

Even so, the girl reported the man to her grandmother, who took the case to the Buriti dos Lopes Police Station. According to the Piauí Civil Police, the crime had been going on for at least two years.

Police Chief Herbster Santos asked for the suspect’s preventive detention. He will answer for the crime of rape of a vulnerable person.
