Brazil: U.S. couple indicted on abuse charges

A Brazilian court indicted a U.S. couple on charges of sexually abusing children while at a nudist colony. The couple has been jailed since December and the indictment was extended to include a Brazilian couple and the parents of three boys who were allegedly abused.

Brazilian police claimed to have sufficient evidence to back their suspicions of the accused:

According to police inspector Juliano Ferreira, the parents "received money in exchange for allowing their sons to be sexually abused by the American and Brazilian couples."

Ferreira said such photos were found in both homes and included images of children allegedly victimized by the couples. He said police have identified 12 of those minors…

All of the boys lived in poor neighborhoods near the colony, police said.

Ferreira said that police found "DVDs and CDs containing hundreds of photographs of young boys posing nude or having sex with each other."
