The candidate addressed the issue today (13) on social media when he lamented the rape of an 11-year-old girl in Teresina, who is pregnant for the second time. At the age of 10, the girl had already been a victim of rape and gave birth to a baby, now nine months old. The case is monitored by the Guardianship Council and, as it involves a child, is being processed in secret at the Piauí Court of Justice (TJPI).
“The girl’s father informed that the family does not intend to request the legal abortion of the second pregnancy, even though it is allowed by the court. Brazilian law allows abortion in cases of rape and risk of death for the pregnant woman and considers presumed rape to be cases of sexual intercourse of victims under the age of 14. which also follows the situation.
