Domestic violence report in Lourinhã uncovers sexual abuse of 10-year-old child
The Judicial Police have detained a 30-year-old man for aggravated sexual abuse of a minor under 10 years old, his direct family member, in Lourinhã. The case was revealed by Correio da Manhã and originated from an investigation by the GNR into a domestic violence situation.
According to the PJ, the sexual abuse is believed to have occurred in July 2026 in an intra-family context. "The victim was forced, through the use of physical force, to engage in sexual acts of particular significance by the suspect", the Judicial Police stated in a statement.
The initial GNR investigation in Lourinhã focused on a domestic violence situation that affected two children and the suspect's partner. Communication of the case to the Judicial Police led to the identification of the sexual abuses and the detention of the man.
The detainee was brought before his first judicial interrogation at Loures Court, where he was ordered to be detained pending trial.
