Indictment of Currais Novos councilman

Overview

Lucieldo da Silva, a PSDB councilman in Currais Novos, Rio Grande do Norte, has been indicted by the Civil Police for sexual importuning and harassment involving an intern at the City Council.

Investigations into an incident occurring on June 30 utilized security camera footage, witness testimonies, and the victim’s statement. Police reported that the footage provided “clear and incontestable” evidence of non-consensual physical contact.

Da Silva has publicly apologized, describing the incident as an “involuntary gesture” and claiming the footage was a “cut of a situation taken out of a larger context” used for “political persecution.” The case has been forwarded to the State Public Ministry to determine if formal court charges will be filed. Additionally, the Currais Novos City Council voted unanimously to accept a formal complaint against him, establishing a Special Commission to investigate the potential revocation of his mandate.
