Felipe Prior faces more than 20 years in prison. Victim details rape

Currently 31 years old, the victim was 22 when the violence occurred and was studying architecture at the same private university as him, in São Paulo: “We started to have contact because of a classmate of mine, who also studied in the North Zone. , huh? We all lived in the North Zone. She talked to him and suggested that we do a paid carpool scheme, right? Since we all lived close by, ”he said.

It is worth noting that there are three other reports of rape against the former BBB. Juliana Valente, the victim’s lawyer who spoke with Fantástico, highlighted that Prior he has already become a defendant in one and that the other two are under investigation by the Civil Police.

The lawyer hopes that he will also be convicted in all cases and that his sentences, added, reach 24 years in prison: “We believe that he will get a longer sentence in these other cases. If he gets the minimum sentence, at least 24 years in prison, which we are fully convinced will happen. These victims, after so much suffering, will get the least amount of justice, because that pain will never be repaired.”

HOW DID THE RAPE HAPPEN?

According to the victim, the case occurred in the early hours of August 8, 2014, after a party at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at USP.

“When it was time to leave, I ran into Prior. He, ah, I’m going too, do you want a ride? Then I said, okay. This friend of mine who was with me, she also lived in the North Zone”, he highlighted.

Without showing her face and very emotional, interrupting several times due to tears and a broken voice, she gave details of how the rape happened.

“He dropped my friend off at her house first. And when we were going towards my house, he stopped the car in the middle of the street. And he unbuckled my belt, started kissing me. And then he got in the back seat and pulled me out.”

He started to take my clothes off. And as things went on, he became more and more aggressive towards me. I said: ‘Felipe, I don’t want to’. I started trying to physically resist and he started pulling my hair.

“He started to hold me by the arms, hold me by the waist. He started forcing penetration. It was really painful. I screamed. A lot of blood started to come out,” recalled the victim.

The victim told Fantástico that, after the violence, Felipe Prior saw the blood and asked if she would like to go to the hospital: “I said no, that I just wanted to go home”, she said.

MEDICAL REPORT PROVES THE RAPE

When she got home, she went straight to the bathroom. “I stayed in the shower trying to stop the blood alone, but my pressure was already very low. I went to wake up my mother and asked her to help me”. The victim’s mother then decided to take her daughter to the hospital, where a grade 1 laceration was certified – compatible with rubbing the penis or introducing another instrument into the vagina, according to the medical record.

PRIOR SENT A MESSAGE TO THE VICTIM

According to the victim, the day after the incident, Prior wanted to know how she was doing: “He sent me a message, asking if she was okay”.

The young woman was ashamed that the story was spread at the university and asked for secrecy: “I told him that I was hurt, that I had a wound and asked him not to tell anyone. I was afraid that he would talk to other people and that I would be marked by this situation. I didn’t want people to see me and see me and think about it,” she lamented.

By resolving to put shame and judgment aside, the victim decided to help other abused women: “I can help other women to have the courage to take a stand. Because this needs to stop. This needs to stop,” she said.

Unfortunately she is part of my story. What I can do with her today is show the world that no woman deserves to have such a wound.”

The case was revealed by Marie Claire Magazine in April 2020 – after the BBB’s prior departure.

FELIPE PRIOR CLAIMS INNOCENCE

After the conviction, the architect used a social network where he has six million followers to say he is innocent and limited the comments on the post. All are positive for him.

In note, the defense of Prior said that he received information about the sentence through the media and that the decision “will be appealed, given the irresignation of Felipe Antoniazzi Prior and his Defense, who fully believe in him, depositing unrestricted credit in his innocence and that, on appeal, its reform will be achieved, in prestige to Justice, recognizing its legitimate and true innocence, which remained patently demonstrated during the procedural instruction”.

“Reaffirming the full innocence of Felipe Antoniazzi Prior, it is emphasized that this is his civic and procedural status, in the light of the presumption of innocence, imposing itself on him, as on other citizens in a Democratic State of Law, as the fatherland , respect, in primacy to item LVII, of article 5, of the Brazilian Federal Constitution, which advocates that ‘No one will be considered guilty until the transit of a final and unappealable criminal sentence’, so that injustices are not incurred, as many have already seen, unfortunately, in our country”, says the text.
