Man convicted of sexual abuse voluntarily surrenders at police station in Araçatuba
On Thursday afternoon (2), a 58-year-old man was detained in Araçatuba, a city in the interior of São Paulo, after presenting himself of his own initiative to the police headquarters. He had been sentenced to 14 years in prison for the crime of rape of a vulnerable person.
Documents from the incident indicate that the arrest warrant against the defendant dated from 2024. During the proceedings, he remained free, following the procedural stages and awaiting decisions on appeals filed. The situation changed when the conviction became final, making him a fugitive.
Accompanied by his legal representative, the convicted man went to the local Judicial Police Station on Thursday to begin serving his sentence. Officers recorded the voluntary surrender, transferred the detainee to a cell, and submitted him to forensic procedures at the Medical Legal Institute.
The report was published by the G1 portal.
