A 53-year-old man who claimed to be Pai de Santo was arrested in Caxias do Sul (RS), suspected of sexual rape through fraud. To date, the Civil Police have identified three victims.
According to delegate Thalita Andrich, the abuse took place during individual sessions with the faithful, who sought help from the man to solve problems and take baths.
The investigation showed that the suspect took advantage of women’s faith to commit crimes. To the victims, he justified his actions by saying that they were part of religious rituals.
The man has been in prison since last Wednesday (22). The Civil Police continues to investigate the case.
