PHOTOS: Dad ‘r@ped daughters, 7 and 8, in front of 10-year-old son’
A man has been accused of r@ping his seven and eight-year-old daughters in front of his 10-year-old son.
The man, 46, whose identity has not been disclosed following the allegations, was arrested on Friday, February 20, in Cascavel, in Paraná, southern Brazil.
According to Civil Police of Paraná (PCPR), he repeatedly r@ped the two young girls while they stayed with him at his home between January 2025 and January 2026.
Police said some of these alleged r@pes were witnessed by the girls’ older brother. Authorities citing evidence gathered before the trial phase led to the dad being placed in court-ordered pretrial detention.
Local media reported that, during the operation to arrest the alleged abuser, a search and seizure warrant executed at the suspect’s home was used to recover electronic devices. Those will be submitted for forensic analysis, with the man sent to prison, where he remains “at the disposal of the Justice system”.
Reports added that the official police investigation has been concluded, and the results will be sent onwards to the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
The allegations against the man come just days after another man of similar age was imprisoned for 29 years after being found guilty of r@ping his own daughter. The man, 41, was arrested by civil police in rural Guaraqueçaba, also in Paraná, on January 14 during an operation carried out in public.
Bruno Silva Rocha, the local chief of police, said he was sentenced to 29 years and two months behind bars for abusing the girl, whose details have not been disclosed.
He added that police executed an arrest warrant in the town of Potinga, where the man is believed to have lived, and taken onwards to the Antonina Civil Police Station. He was transferred to the Paranaguá Public Jail immediately following his arrest, and he remains there following his conviction earlier this month.
Also on the 14th, another man, aged 23, was arrested on charges of r@pe of a vulnerable person and dissemination of child p0rnography.
Police arrested the man and reportedly solved the case “in less than 24 hours after the facts came to light”, local media reported, after the victim’s mum filed a police report. She reportedly went to a police station to complain intimate videos of her daughter, aged 13, were circulating on social media.
Officers reportedly conducted swift investigations and later identified the teen’s ex-boyfriend as a suspect, with the department alleging he released photos and videos of his young victim as a form of revenge.
Police went on to allege that the 23-year-old had confessed, and his mobile phone was seized ahead of being passed along to forensics teams for analysis.

The Kuwait General Department of Criminal Investigation in Ahmadi Governorate arrested the two individuals over alleged involvement in an armed robbery and theft of a currency exchange shop in Mahboula, in January 2025.
The Court of Appeal on Monday, July 20, 2026 upheld the imprisonment of the defendants for seven years and six months in connection with the robbery and theft.
The Second Circuit of the Court of Appeal, headed by Counselor Nasr Salem Al-Haid and comprising Counselors Mutaib Al-Aradhi and Saud Al-Sane, upheld the ruling against members of a Nigerian gang involved in the robbery and theft of the money exchange shop.
The Public Prosecution had charged the first four defendants with stealing money from the exchange shop, with the second defendant using a fake gun and enabling the third and fourth defendants to steal the money with the assistance of the first defendant.
The fifth defendant was charged with participating with the defendants, agreeing to commit the crime, helping them conceal the stolen goods, and supplying them with the money obtained from the robbery and theft.
The Criminal Court had sentenced the first and fifth defendants in person, while the remaining defendants were sentenced in absentia.
The court had initially sentenced the first four defendants to seven years’ imprisonment and the fifth defendant to six months’ imprisonment after amending the description and charges.
The Court of Appeal later upheld the ruling, according to a report published by Al Rai newspaper.

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Badagry Area Command, has uncovered an alleged fake university operating from a three-bedroom apartment in Ilado, Olorunda Local Council Development Area, of Lagos State, and rescued 106 youths allegedly lured into the scheme. AkwaIbom News
The Corps also arrested the alleged proprietor of the institution, which reportedly recruited young people from different parts of Nigeria and neighbouring West African countries with promises of admission into a foreign university.
The operation, carried out in the early hours of Monday after days of intelligence gathering and covert surveillance, exposed what security officials described as an alleged fraudulent academic and recruitment scheme.
The youths, mostly aged between 19 and 24, were taken into protective custody by the NSCDC for profiling and further investigation.
Confirming their arrest to newsmen, the Badagry Area Commander of the NSCDC, Chief Superintendent Gbenga Ekunola, said the operation followed credible intelligence received by the command on activities at the apartment.
“We got reliable intelligence about the activities going on there. Our officers monitored the place for days before moving in. We have arrested the proprietor, who is assisting with our investigation, while the students have been taken into our protective custody.”
Preliminary investigations indicated that unsuspecting young people were allegedly persuaded to pay admission and processing fees after being promised admission into a foreign tertiary institution.
The victims reportedly paid between N200,000 and N1.5 million, while some foreign nationals and other participants allegedly paid between $400 and $500.
However, the alleged admission scheme reportedly came with a recruitment condition, with participants encouraged to bring in more people in return for commissions.
The arrangement allegedly operated like a chain marketing or Ponzi scheme, with participants promised increasing financial rewards based on the number of new students they recruited.
