The family lawyer for the 12yearold boy who would have been the victim of the actor’s abuse Jose Dumont, stated that the crime was committed intentionally. The 72yearold artist was caught in the act for custody child pornography and rape of the vulnerable.
André Garcia, who is representing the prosecutor in the case, told Metropoles: “It was all very premeditated. First he gained confidence and then he attacked.”
According to investigations, the veteran offered the victim gifts in exchange for cuddles and kisses from the child. Everything was filmed by surveillance cameras and the footage gave rise to investigation. Earlier, the boy’s mother told Jornal da Record about moments of contact between her son and the actor.
“When my son was with me, right in my shop, he was constantly talking to my son and giving him his tips… [presentes] in front of me, always, as I said, in my company. My son was always close to me. Once upon a time there was money,” he recalled.
