President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) sanctioned, on Thursday (28), a public consultation system that will be developed based on data from the National Registry of People Convicted for the Crime of Rape.
The objective is to facilitate access to information to protect women and children and prevent new crimes.
It will be possible to consult the full name and CPF number of defendants convicted in the first instance of sexual crimes. The system must maintain data such as the sentence or other security measures imposed on the convicted defendant, who is now monitored by an electronic device.
The rule applies to the following criminal types:
- rape;
- unauthorized recording of sexual intimacy;
- rape of a vulnerable person;
- promoting prostitution or other forms of sexual exploitation of children, adolescents, or vulnerable people;
- mediation to serve another person’s lust;
- promoting prostitution or other forms of sexual exploitation;
- maintenance of a house of prostitution;
- and ruffianism (taking financial advantage of someone else’s prostitution).
If the defendant is acquitted in the second or third instance, the confidentiality of the information will be reestablished. On the other hand, information relating to victims will always be kept confidential.
The president vetoed the section of the law that determined that the information in the registry would be available for public consultation for a period of ten years after full serving of the sentence. The argument is that extending the period for keeping the data in the registry beyond the period of serving the sentence would violate constitutional principles such as proportionality and due legal process. The veto will be submitted to the National Congress for consideration.
The proposal that gave rise to the law was presented by senator Margareth Buzetti (PSD-MT). The text was approved by the Senate in May this year.
“The National Registry of People Convicted of the Crime of Rape is an important instrument for the protection of women, children and adolescents against attacks by potential sexual predators, allowing them to take preventive measures to prevent them from becoming victims of this type of offender,” he stated. the Minister of Justice and Public Security, Ricardo Lewandowski, in a statement.
