Wellington de Oliveira Santos, 37, pleaded four times with a judge not to remain detained after being accused of attempted rape against a 35-year-old nutritionist in Barueri, Greater São Paulo. During a custody hearing held after his arrest in flagrante on May 23, 2026, the accused claimed he was intoxicated and said he cares for his 74-year-old father and 11-year-old son. The magistrate maintained preventive detention, declaring: 'I listened carefully to what you said, what the prosecution and defense said, but especially for the victim's preservation, I will keep you detained.' ◦
