The Civil Police of Pernambuco are investigating reports of collective sexual violence against two 14-year-old girls at a school in Cabo de Santo Agostinho.

Details emerged indicating that the assaults were allegedly committed by five students, aged between 14 and 16. One victim reported being attacked during a school break, while a second victim reported a similar incident occurring approximately one month earlier. 

The victims' legal representation has raised concerns regarding the school's handling of the situation, alleging that school management attempted to handle the matter internally and reprimanded a victim for informing her mother. The victims have been referred to the Legal Medicine Institute for examinations and are receiving psychological support and assistance from the Guardianship Council.
