Was a family friend and had the parents' trust. PJ detains man for child abuse

Notícias de Coimbra11 September 2026 at 15:24

The Judicial Police, through the Lisbon and Tagus Valley Directorate, detained in Lisbon, on the 7th, a man suspected of abusing a child. The suspect was a family friend and had the victim's parents' trust, which appears to have facilitated access to the minor. The investigation proceeded discreetly until the accused's detention. This type of case, in which the aggressor is someone close to the family, is particularly concerning due to the trust relationships that are manipulated to commit the abuses.
