A 30-year-old man was detained by Portugal’s Judiciary Police after a domestic violence report in Lourinha led to a criminal case involving a minor. The investigation started with the Guarda Nacional Republicana, after which the Judiciary Police took over and detained the suspect for aggravated sexual abuse of a minor. The alleged abuse, committed in July 2026 in an intrafamily setting, involved the 10-year-old child, a direct family member. According to the Judiciary Police, the victim was allegedly forced using physical force to perform sexual acts of special relevance. The domestic violence case also affected two children and the woman who is the suspect’s partner. The man was presented for the first judicial interrogation at the Court of Loures, where preventive detention was applied. The case remains under investigation as the suspect is held on remand.
