Alagoas Court Orders Influencer Babal Guimarães Jailed in Closed Regime After Videoed Assault

Prosecutors cited a prior conviction plus security‑camera evidence to justify moving him to a closed regime.

Overview

  • The Alagoas judiciary issued the arrest and penal regression on December 9, according to a court document reported by revista Quem.
  • Security footage from November 28 outside a Maceió condominium shows an assault on model Karla Lessa that includes hair‑pulling, pushing, and objects thrown.
  • Civil Police opened an inquiry into bodily injury after the video circulated despite no initial police report by the victim.
  • Guimarães was serving a 1 year, 4 months, and 9 days sentence in an open regime for a prior domestic‑violence conviction, and the court ordered transfer to closed custody.
  • Coverage notes this as at least his third case involving violence against women, with earlier proceedings that included a conviction linked to influencer Emily Garcia.
