A 25-year-old man was detained in Amadora for suspected sexual abuse of his own niece, aged 13. The complaint was filed after the young girl reported what happened to family members, who in turn informed the authorities.
The suspect was brought before a preliminary hearing, where he was placed in preventive detention. The most severe precautionary measure was applied by the judge, considering the gravity of the alleged acts.
The case involves a minor and a close family member, which aggravates the context of the presumed assault. The authorities are now proceeding with the investigation to clarify all the details of what happened.
