Preventive arrest of rape suspects of two young women in the municipality of Loulé

A 53-year-old man suspected of raping two young women aged 17 and 29, including the daughter of a former partner, in the municipality of Loulé, is in preventive detention, the criminal police said on Saturday 11. May, with (PJ).

According to PJ, the crimes occurred in both 2023 and this year.

“The sexual assaults allegedly occurred on two victims, aged 17 and 29, in an environment controlled by the inmate, who had a relationship with the mother of one of them, occasionally when they were alone,” says the PFY.

The suspect “embarrassed the victims by taking advantage of the fact that both had some limitations in their cognitive development and thus tried to obtain silence about the crimes committed,” he added.
