PHOTOS: Mum held as s£x slave in police cell by officers who allegedly took turns r@ping her for 9 months
A Brazilian mother has claimed she was allegedly repeatedly r@ped by police officers in front of her newborn baby for nine months after being held as a s£x slave in a prison cell.
The 29-year-old woman said officers took it in turns to abuse her at a police station in Santo Antonio do Ica in the rural state of Amazonas, Brazil.
A lawyer acting for the woman, who is part of Amazonian Kokama indigenous community, said the allegedly attacks began after she was arrested and accused of domestic violence against her husband.
The lawyer said when she was taken to the remote police station, officers threw her in a cell with male inmates and told her there was an outstanding warrant for her arrest.
She then allegedly became a s£x slave to the officers who systematically r@ped her until she was released in August 2023.
The woman is now demanding nearly £67,000 in compensation from the state for the horrific abuse she suffered.
According to an affidavit, the woman’s ordeal was so traumatic that she tried to k!ll herself several times.
“The psychological damages of the gang r@pe committed in the presence of the newborn and during the period of imprisonment caused her permanent damage,” the document said.
Additionally, the level of abuse she suffered was so physically brutal that two years later she continues to suffer from uncontrollable bleeding in the uterus, her legal team said.
“The physical pain acquired as a result of s£xual violence is added to the deep psychological wound that marked the Plaintiff’s soul.
“The depression, the su!cide attempts inside the prison and the constant fear are silent witnesses to the barbarity suffered.”
Lead attorney Dacimar de Souza Carneiro noted that the abuse happened everywhere in the station – from the cell to the kitchen and even in the weapons arsenal.
“The r@pes happened at night, during shifts. In all areas of the police station. The other prisoners didn’t say anything because they were also tortured.”
And when she begged them not to r@pe her in front of her baby son, cops reportedly told her: “We’re the ones in charge here.”
When she was not being r@ped, the document alleges that she was locked in the police station’s only cell with other men and lived in constant fear of further attacks.
The victim identified four military police officers and a municipal guard as the perpetrators.
She was only spared when she was transferred to a women’s jail in August 2023, and she told wardens about what had happened to her.
The Amazonas Public Security Secretariat and the Civil Police say they are investigating her allegations.
