Feira de Santana gym sexual assault – suspect detained

Entities: Feira de Santana · Lorena Almeida · Civil Police of Bahia · Reserva do Buriti condominium · Simões Filho

Overview

The incident recorded on 19 July 2026 in a condominium gym in Feira de Santana, Brazil, led to a police investigation for sexual importunation. A preventive arrest warrant was issued for 21‑year‑old student Pedro Henrique Sales, who was captured five days later after resisting arrest in an abandoned construction site. Sales remains in preventive detention pending a custody hearing. The inquiry, led by Delegada Lorena Almeida, has also examined potential assistance from family members; his twin brother was cleared of any involvement but reported harassment and temporarily left his job. Residents have voted to expel Sales from the building and are exploring civil action. Victim‑support measures and policies protecting women in public spaces stay in effect while the case proceeds under secrecy of justice.
