The Italian tourist, a 48-year-old businessman, was arrested on 2
September in the coastal city of Fortaleza, in the north-east of
Brazil, where he was on holiday with his wife and daughter.
He
was reported to the police by a Brazilian couple who claimed he had
been touching a young girl inappropriately and had kissed her on the
mouth while they were both at a swimming pool close to the beach in
full view of other tourists.
It appears the couple who made the allegations did not know that the man was with his daughter.
