A 21-year-old man was detained in Lisbon by the Judicial Police (PJ) on Thursday, suspected of sexually abusing a minor under 16 years old. The suspect, a foreign national reported missing in his home country, has been placed in preventive custody following his first judicial interrogation.

The incident occurred after the adolescent was approached in a public space during a night out, where she consumed alcoholic beverages. The suspect took advantage of the situation to commit the sexual abuse.

The PJ acted swiftly upon learning of the facts, conducting urgent investigative measures that led to the identification, location, and arrest of the suspect, who was preparing to leave the country. The suspect was detained for sexual abuse of a minor incapable of resistance.

This case highlights the importance of vigilance and prompt action by authorities to protect vulnerable individuals and ensure justice is served.
