Overview

• Darthés’s defense has filed motions in higher Brazilian courts arguing procedural nullity and lack of federal jurisdiction, a strategy that could restart the trial or lead to prescription.
• Fardin’s Instagram video declared “Yo gané,” insisted the six-year sentence stands and underscored that five federal judges found material evidence of abuse despite absence of visible injuries.
• The actress accused defense lawyers of attempting to discredit peritos and psychologists to intimidate expert testimony in future sexual abuse cases.
• A public exchange with media panelist Yanina Latorre reflected growing social media debate over Fardin’s communication style and the broader discourse on survivor narratives.
• Higher courts in Brasília have yet to rule on the appeals, leaving enforcement of the conviction in limbo even as Fardin frames the case as a precedent for prosecuting abuse.
