A 25-year-old security guard from India was arrested on Thursday for allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl in her flat in Rua da Pedra, a Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesperson said during a special press briefing on Friday.
The spokesperson said that early Thursday morning, after a night out with her friends in Nape, the victim came upon her drunken friend, who was too drunk to go home on her own, so the two took a taxi to the victim’s flat in Rua da Pedra.
As the victim wasn’t able to carry her friend up the stairs, she asked the suspect, who just happened to be walking by, for help, the spokesperson said.
