This little bit of information would have resulted in a sexual predator charge, or maybe even a dangerous offender here is Canada, but down Brazil way it's all in a days work!
SAO PAULO — The decision by a Brazilian judge to free a man who was arrested after allegedly ejaculating on a woman on a public bus is causing anger in a country where gender violence is prevalent.
The incident occurred Tuesday as the bus was going down Avenida Paulista, one of the busiest avenues in Sao Paulo. Passengers grabbed the perpetrator and turned him over to police.
But less than 24 hours later, judge Jose Eugenio do Amaral Souza Neto ruled the man had committed a misdemeanour, not a rape, and ordered his release.
The incident did not involve “constraints, violence or threats,” Souza Neto said in justifying his decision. “The victim was seated when she was surprised by the ejaculation.”
According to the UOL news portal, police records show that Diego Ferreira de Novaes has been detained 16 times since 2009 for committing similar crimes, including five times just this year.
Retired prosecutor Luiza Nagib Eluf told reporters the judge’s decision “makes a mockery” of justice.Like I said folks: "I guess it's different strokes for different folks down in Brazil!" (No pun intended!) 😝
