Two Men Arrested for Drugging, Raping, and Beating Woman Hired for Farm Work in Paraná

Two men, aged 45 and 50, have been arrested in Ipiranga, Paraná, Brazil, on suspicion of drugging, raping, and severely beating a 34-year-old woman. The victim, who has a history of psychological and economic vulnerability and receives support from a specialized social assistance center (CREAS), was hired by the suspects for cleaning services at a rural property. According to the lead investigator, Delegate Ingrid Priotto, the men were aware of the victim's difficulties and exploited them by offering money for domestic work. During the car ride to the property on June 27, they covertly administered a psychoactive substance disguised as candy, significantly reducing her consciousness and ability to resist. Upon arrival at the farm, the victim was allegedly assaulted, stripped, and subjected to simultaneous sexual abuse by both men. When she began to regain awareness and attempted to defend herself by striking one attacker with a glass, she was met with further violent physical assault. The victim managed to escape and sought refuge with a neighbor, who then took her to a local hospital. Evidence supporting the charges includes the victim's injuries, a forensic report of sexual violence, and surveillance footage. Notably, one suspect's injury was corroborated when he sought medical attention. Both men, who reportedly have prior records for gender-based violence and aggressive behavior, have been charged with raping a vulnerable person and bodily harm. The preventive detention was requested due to the severity of the crimes and the risk to the victim's safety.
