A teenage social media star claimed she was drugged and raped on a Brazilian farm by other influencers who invited her to a party.
Geovana Pontes, 19, of Paraná, Brazil, was left bloodstained with a busted lip after attending a party in São Paulo in late January.
The young woman claims her drink was spiked and she was forced to have sex with four men at the influencer event, she told O Globo Brazil.
Pontes allegedly became confused after drinking the beverage and lost consciousness, saying she “started to be in an unusual state” where she was unable to control her body while the men undressed her.
“There were seven or eight and they started recording me in the pool, taking off my bikini,” she told the local outlet.
“I was abused by four men. I believe they put something in the drink to make me different. There are things I don’t remember at all. Everyone drank and I was the only one left like that.”
The Brazilian uploaded graphic photos of the assault on her Instagram, showing her wearing a blue shirt spotted with blood, her bloodied and swollen lip and dried blood that had run down her chin and neck.
Pontes filed a complaint for aggression with the Civil Police, who questioned her for six hours, her lawyer told O Globo, and has tacked on sexual assault.
The young woman, who boasts nearly 250,000 followers on Instagram, said she originally did not report the rape because she was receiving threats from other partygoers, especially after posting the disturbing photos.
“They started threatening me, if I posted more something would happen to me,” she told O Globo.
Pontes and her friend were invited to the Jan. 25 party and had their travels from Paraná to São Paulo paid for by the man who invited them to the venue to spend the weekend.
The 19-year-old said there were eight men there, including minors, and she and her friend.
When they arrived at the luxury condominium, her friend, who was not identified, went to sleep while she went to grab a drink and that’s when she began to feel funny.
However, her friend was the one to remove Pontes from the pool, who was crying.
Pontes’ lawyer Igor José Ogar said the police “did not want to register” the sexual assault at first.
“It is absurd that a police station does not want to receive a crime of such a serious nature. She stayed there for six hours,” he told O Globo.
São Paulo Civil Police said Wednesday that the case is under investigation by the Igaratá Police Station and that “police requests were issued.”
“Those involved are being identified by the team to be qualified and summoned. Likewise, the victims will be heard to contribute to clarifying the facts. The investigations continue under secrecy,” it said, according to O Globo.
