A Brazilian mother has claimed she was repeatedly raped by police officers in front of her newborn baby for nine months after being held as a sex slave in a prison cell.
The 29-year-old woman said officers took it in turns to abuse her at a police station in Santo Antonio do Ica in the rural state of Amazonas.
A lawyer acting for the woman, who is part of Amazonian Kokama indigenous community, said the attacks began after she was arrested and accused of domestic violence against her husband.
But when she was taken to the remote police station, officers threw her in a cell with male inmates and told her there was an outstanding warrant for her arrest.
She then allegedly became a sex slave to the officers who systematically raped her until she was released in August 2023.
