Brazilian Man Arrested for Imprisoning and Abusing Family for 20 Years

A daughter’s escape led to the arrest of a man accused of sexually abusing and imprisoning his wife, children, and mother-in-law in Brazil.

The man, aged 54, allegedly kept his wife, seven children, and mother-in-law captive in Novo Oriente, Brazil.
The alleged abuse included sexual assault, forced abortions, and psychological violence over two decades.
Authorities discovered three fetuses buried on the property, linked to forced miscarriages.
The wife, who was held captive since age 17, and the children have been relocated for their safety.
