A father has been charged with sexually abusing his eight-year-old daughter after being reported for kissing her in public.
He faces a prison sentence of up to 15 years if convicted.
The man, an Italian businessman on holiday in Brazil together with his Brazilian wife and daughter, was reported by a suspicious Brazilian couple, who apparently saw a white man kissing and touching a young brown skinned girl at a pool and assumed he was a rorikon with one of the nation’s multitude of loli prostitutes.
Police soon arrested the man and charged him under draconian new laws designed to discourage men from buying child prostitutes; the law stipulates sentences of 8 to 15 years for sexual activity with girls under 14.
His wife and hotel staff all report his actions were entirely innocent, and that he was arrested solely on the mistaken testimony of onlookers.
Despite repeated intercessions on his behalf, police refuse to release him, now having held him for a week.

This is why we hate the police and their stupid laws.
You all seem to have missed the part about there being l♥♥i prostitutes in Brazil
brb, packing
hi
Unless he was tongue-ing and licking the girl’s private parts, then he shouldn’t be sent to jail. Parents can kiss their own damn child for cripe’s sakes. I’ve seen it in the movies. So I guess it’s not allowed to peck at your own child..
Sometimes the Police are STUPID.
Common sense… Oh, its your daughter.
Hey now! This is brazil! Only clergy and criminals are allowed to have sex with under aged children.
No fatherly love allowed here!
