In an interview, the president cited cases of sexual exploitation of adolescents in São Sebastião, an administrative region of the Federal District.
the deputy Maria do Rosario (PT-RS), together with movements for the defense of children and adolescents, called the MPF (Federal Public Ministry) to investigate alleged prevarication by the president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) in the case of prostitution of Venezuelan girls mentioned by the president during an interview last Friday (14.Oct.2022).
In an interview with podcast of the channel Red-Black PaparazzoBolsonaro said: “ANDI stopped the bike on a corner, took off my helmet and looked at some pretty girls, 3, 4, 14, 15 years old, dressed up on a Saturday in a community. And I saw that they were kind of similar. Painted a mood, I came back. ‘Can I enter your house?’ I entered. There were about 15, 20 girls, Saturday morning, getting ready. All Venezuelans. And I ask: pretty girls 14, 15 years old getting ready on Saturday for what? earn a living”.
The representation asks for an investigation into the president’s action when he became aware of the alleged case of sexual exploitation and the reason for not having presented the facts to the authorities. If the statements of the Chief Executive are proven, the deputy indicates the crime of malfeasance.
The document also asks that an alleged visit by the first lady, Michelle Bolsonaro, and former minister Damares Alves to the community cited by Bolsonaro be avoided.
“The departure of the two ladies will have repercussions: If there is really the conduct attributed to the girls, of being victims of sexual exploitation, the aforementioned ladies should go to the competent authorities to verify the veracity of the allegation. The other, if they go to the Institution to demonstrate that it is not what the supreme representative reported, they will only expose the image of children and adolescents, protected by the Child and Adolescent Statute, to the whole Brazilian society, not with the scope of protecting them, but only with the interest of preserving the electoral campaign of the husband of one of them”, says part of the representation.

WHAT DOES BOLSONARO SAY?
On Sunday morning (Oct 16), Bolsonaro broadcast live on Facebook to talk about the statement to the podcast.
According to the president, he only showed “indignation” with the situation of Venezuelans. Bolsonaro said that the PT “exceeded all limits” to “cut out pieces” from video to “distort” and imply that he was “behind program”.
“In 2020, I did a live from inside the house of some Venezuelan girls – there must have been 12, 13, 14 girls. The signal was picked up by ‘TV CNN’ and broadcast live”, Bolsonaro said. “What was I showing with that? My indignation, because those Venezuelan girls, who had run away from their country, had run away from hunger, were in their small group, as there are thousands across Brazil, here on the outskirts of Brasília.“, continued.
In Brazil, Article 218-B of the Penal Code specifies the crime of “favoring prostitution or any other form of sexual exploitation of children or adolescents or vulnerable people”, under penalty of imprisonment for at least 2 years.
In the podcast interview, Bolsonaro says that the moment of the meeting with Venezuelans is recorded on his social networks, when he made a live broadcast of the tour in the region.
