A teenage influencer is demanding justice in Brazil after saying she was drugged, raped and beaten by a group of fellow influencers.
How it Happened
Geovana Pontes claims the group invited her to a party, where they attacked her.
The 19-year-old shared photographs with her nearly 250,000 followers on January 29, showing injuries which she alleges were caused by the attack.
Shockingly, she accused other social media influencers of raping her and beating her – as well as a friend who had also been invited to the party hosted on a farm.
She captioned the graphic photographs showing her bloodied face and her apparently lying on the floor with the word ‘Justica!!!’ (‘Justice’).
Another photo showed her outside a police station.
She has now spoken to local media outlet Record TV about her online claims, saying that it took place at a party on a farm in Igarata, in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo.
Narrating Her Ordeal
She said she was drugged and forced to have sex with at least three young men.
Pontes also claims that she was invited to the party and went with a friend, who was also attacked by the group of men.
She claims the men locked a door, preventing her and her friend from leaving.
‘There was no food, there was no signal, there was nothing. There was no way I could even get out. No one entered and no one left the house,’ she told Record.

Pontes claimed ‘(one of the influencers) grabbed me by the neck and punched me in the mouth. It was at that moment that I fell with everything backwards, and two others were saying: “Yeah, it really hits. That’s it. That’s what you deserve”.
‘I had sex without my consent. I was vulnerable. I didn’t know what was happening.’
Investigation is Underway
According to Brazilian newspaper O Globo, police are investigating a complaint from the teenager of rape, aggression and false imprisonment.
Sao Paulo Civil Police told the newspaper the case ‘is under investigation by the Igaratá Police Station’, it reported.
In a statement reported by O Globo, police said: ‘Police requests were issued, and due to a new report of sexual abuse, another examination was requested from the Legal Medical Institute (IML).
‘Those involved are being identified by the team to be qualified and summoned. Likewise, the victims will be heard to contribute to clarifying the facts.
‘The investigations continue under secrecy.’
