Juvenile Freeself Following Rape of a 14-year-old Girl in Évora
In Évora, Portugal, a 19-year-old man accused of raping a 14-year-old girl has been released from custody, following an investigation by the Polícia Judiciária (PJ). The suspect, a resident of Évora, was arrested at Lisbon Airport on Friday.
The shocking incident is said to have occurred during a group outing of teenagers in Évora, where the victim and the suspect were present. The PJ was immediately involved in the investigation, which was initiated by a complaint from the victim's mother to the local PSP.
Since the crime, the suspect had been at large. However, the investigating judge has now released the suspect, imposing several conditions. He is prohibited from contacting the victim, required to report daily to the local police station, and must hand over his passport.
An alert has also been issued for the suspect's interdiction from leaving Portugal. The suspect was preparing to leave the country at the time of his arrest.
The suspect was presented to judicial authorities on Saturday for interrogation and formal accusation. It's important to note that no information regarding the reasons for the release or the details about the imposed conditions and the interdiction alert have been disclosed in the search results.
