The PM became aware of the case after a report of sexual exploitation of a vulnerable person. Military personnel and guardianship counselors went to the rural property, where they found the woman suspected of committing the crime.
"The suspect admitted to having brought the victim from the state of Maranhão with the purpose of establishing a romantic relationship, using the minor for the purposes of reproduction and sexual exploitation in a 'threesome relationship' arrangement with her partner," the PM reported.
During the inspection, the agents found that the teenager was subject to working hours on the rural property. The amounts owed for their efforts were fully retained and appropriated by the couple, constituting unpaid forced labor.
The female suspect was arrested at the scene. Then, the police went to her partner's place of work. The man had a knife and, when approached, disobeyed orders and fled into an area of dense vegetation.
The PM set up a large siege and mobilized several support units, including air policing and specialized teams. After the search, the man was located and arrested.
