This man faces 8 to 15 years jail term. His crime - he kissed his daughter of only 8 years in public view.
This happened in a hotel's swimming pool in Brazil. The man in question (or being questioned) is an Italian. Witnesses told police that he touched the girl in an intimate way. But they were not aware that it was his daughter.
It is reported that under a strict new law aimed at fighting child abuse, he faces up to 15 years in prison, if convicted. The unnamed man has been in custody for almost a week.
BBC News reports that the north-east of Brazil has for some years had a problem of pedophiles travelling to the area, often from overseas, and strongly-worded warnings about the penalties for exploiting children are posted in most hotels.
Wife of the arrested tourist says that it is all due a simple misunderstanding. Lawyers are trying for his release. But do you think that the man will be freed?
