the moment of action

I was desperate, very scared”.

planned harassment

The singer believes that the pester planned to commit the illicit act on that occasion. “I believe it was a very well thought out case. My mother always stays at home, or the girl who works here. During the day there is a large team that takes care of Arlindão, speech therapy, nurses. But he knew that moment was the ideal moment to do what he wanted.

The pester did not appear to be a bad person: “Of all, he was the oldest on the team, he studied, read all the time, seemed to be more relaxed, he was the person who took care of the love of my life, my greatest asset, which is my father. Here at home, we try to maintain a nice relationship with all employees.”commented Flora.

Flora it says that when making the complaintthe abuser would have gotten in touch, saying that she would have provoked him in front of her clothes, and also pointed out that after the harassment, she is no longer able to sleep alone and seeks psychological help.
