The Civil Police of the Federal District arrested a pastor on Tuesday (10/28) for raping minor daughters and stepchildren. The crimes occurred at the family residence in Recanto das Emas between 2010 and 2018, when the victims were between 6 and 7 years old. The suspect preached at a church in Santo Antônio do Descoberto and used his religious position to justify the acts.
The False Prophet Operation was launched by the Women’s Assistance Section of the 27th Police Station. The pastor attempted suicide upon learning of the arrest but was rescued and detained at a UPA in São Sebastião. Four victims reported the abuses this year, with support from the Tutelary Council.

Details of the abuses
The pastor committed the rapes both sober and under the influence of alcohol or drugs. After the acts, the victims placed their hands on the Bible and performed prayers. This practice served to reinforce the suspect’s religious authority.
The fourth victim, a stepson, suffered physical tortures. The aggressor used barbed wire, causing serious injuries and permanent deformity. The punishments aimed to prevent the minor from revealing the sexual abuses.
Investigation and report
The victims remained silent for years due to fear of reprisals against their mothers. Paternal family pressure also contributed to the silence. An approach by the Tutelary Council in Recanto das Emas facilitated the report in 2025.
The station collected evidence that confirmed the crimes. Delegate Alexandre Godinho highlighted that the arrest interrupted a prolonged cycle of violence. The suspect exploited family ties and faith to avoid punishment.
Arrest and next steps
The pastor arrived at the 27th DP after medical rescue. He remains detained at the disposal of Justice. The complaint includes vulnerable rape and torture.
The investigations confirmed the victims’ accounts. The operation started at 3:30 pm on Tuesday. The abuses occurred exclusively at the family home.
Legal consequences
The Public Ministry should formalize the accusation soon. The crimes involve aggravations due to kinship and vulnerability. The PCDF acted based on recent reports.
The victims receive psychological support. The case exposes abuses in a family environment with the use of religious authority. The detention occurred without resistance after the rescue.
Protection measures
The Tutelary Council continues monitoring the victims. The family receives support for safety. The church in Santo Antônio do Descoberto did not comment on the case.
The operation gathered specialized teams in crimes against minors. The victims’ statements were detailed and consistent. The arrest took place at the suspect’s workplace.
The deformity in the stepson results from repeated aggressions. The rapes included elements of humiliation. The Bible was used as a control instrument after the abuse. The victims report lasting traumas from the acts practiced over eight years.
