Overview
- A first‑instance court in Porto Feliz found Thiago Brennand guilty of multiple crimes connected to attacks on an ex‑companion, delivering a sentence of about 31 years in mid‑July 2026.
- The ruling convicted him of two counts of rape, unauthorized recording of intimate acts, illegal coercion in the judicial process, bodily injury and one count of disseminating a rape scene.
- The court ordered R$100,000 in civil reparations to the victim and directed the immediate, provisional execution of the sentence while higher courts may review the case.
- The judge acquitted Brennand on several other charges including some counts of threats and torture, and a co‑defendant was absolved in this decision.
- Brennand has been detained since 2023 and faces multiple related cases with mixed appellate outcomes, and public evidence such as a forced tattoo, audio recordings and a circulated video helped shape the prosecution and public response.
