Remember celebrities who were convicted of rape

Former BBB Felipe Prior was sentenced to six years in prison in a semi-open regime, after being accused of rape in 2014. The decision was taken on Saturday, 8, by Judge Eliana Cassales Tosi Bastos, from the 7th Criminal Court of São Paulo, and runs in secrecy, according to information from UOL Universa. The conviction is in the first instance and the accused can appeal freely.

The complaint in question was made in 2020, by a woman identified as identified by Themis. According to the decision, the businessman used physical strength to commit violence “holding her by the arms and waist, in addition to pulling her hair, at which time Themis asked him to stop, saying that ‘I didn’t want to have sex’”.

It is worth remembering that, in 2020, Prior was accused by two other women.

In addition to ex-BBB Felipe Prior, IstoÉ Gente recalls below some famous people who have already been found guilty by Justice after allegations of sexual abuse. Check out!

John of God

Former religious leader John of God, in December 2018, was reported by 14 women for sexual abuse. The case was revealed by the newspaper O Globo and by the program ‘Conversa com Bial’, on TV Globo. João was one of the most famous names in the country when it came to spirituality and he was recognized internationally.

The victims reported that they were sexually abused by him during spiritual services in the city of Abadiânia, in Goiás.

The Justice of the state of Goiás created a task force to investigate the complaints and João de Deus was arrested in December 2018. He has been under house arrest since then. In January of this year, João de Deus was sentenced to another four years in prison for sexual violation, the fifth conviction for sexual crimes.

The penalties for his convictions for sexual crimes and rape already add up to more than 100 years in prison.

Robinho

In January of last year, the player Robinho had a sentence of nine years in prison confirmed by the Court of Cassation of Rome, after a case of collective rape that took place in Italy, in 2013, in a nightclub in Milan.

In October 2014, an Italian newspaper published a report on an investigation by the Italian Justice into the episode. An 18-year-old girl denounced him. In 2017, Robinho was sentenced in the first instance to nine years in prison. In January 2022, Justice confirmed the conviction in the last instance, and he has no further appeal.

Calls from the player and his friends prove that Robinho had sex with the woman who was drunk and unable to resist or consent to the act, which in Brazil would be considered rape of a vulnerable person.

mike tyson

the boxer mike tyson was convicted of the rape of a college student in February 1992. The Miss Black America contestant victim was 18 years old and from Rhode Island, where she was considered a minor by US state law.

The young woman claimed at the time that, upon arriving at the hotel room, Mike would have thrown you on the bed and forced sexual intercourse with her, who left the hotel room 30 minutes after arriving. He denied that rape took place.

Tyson received a six-year prison sentence and was released in March 1995 to serve four years of probation. In the process, Tyson’s driver confirmed the victim’s state of shock after the sexual violence. The doctor who treated the victim in the emergency room also testified.

Roman Polanski

In March 1977, the filmmaker Roman Polanski was arrested at the home of actor Jack Nicholson in Los Angeles, accused of raping Samantha Geimer, who at the time was 13 years old. At the time, she claimed that he took her to the actor’s house, under the pretext of doing a photo shoot for “Vogue” magazine.

Polanski was indicted for crimes including rape with drug use, perversion and sodomy with a minor. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail, but was only jailed for 47 days after posting bail. In 1978, after the possibility of a new trial and a new arrest being decreed, the filmmaker fled to France.

In September 2009, upon arriving at Zurich airport, Polanski was arrested at the request of US authorities. But Switzerland refused to extradite the director, citing a lack of conclusive evidence.

The case is still open, and the filmmaker is barred from entering the US.
