Indian girls exchange their virginity for candy in the State of Amazonas.
We went to his house.
When we got there he was in his boxers.
And he talked to me. He asked if I wanted to be with him.
I said no, but she made me be with him.
Most of the girls that become part of this reality, get into this deluded by an yogurt,
by an apple, by an bunch of grapes.
It hurts...
Stop.
Stolen childhood.
Here in the city of São Gabriel da Cachoeira, in the frontier between the north of Amazonas and Colombia,
indian girls are being sexually abused by white men.
I was one of the victims. I went to the guy's house.
Many girls are 12, 14 years old.
There were some girls that were 10, who used to go to his house.
Yes, it's one girl coming in and another is going out. And some other ones arriving...
With the support of the Children and Teenagers Guardianship Council, 12 girls testified
in the civil and federal police. They accused 9 men.
Look, according to what the girls stated and the information we're getting,
these men really are interested in *** girls.
A teenager, a child of 11, 12 years old, costs 500 reais for the first time she has sex with a man.
The second time it's 300, then 100, 150, a cellphone...
He caught me. It was my first time, so he offered me a cellphone.
I told he abused me.
São Gabriel da Cachoeira is the city with the largest Indian population in Brazil.
There are over 29.000 people, from 22 ethnic groups.
The girls who are inveigled here in the city are all Indians.
They are the daughters of people who come from other communities,
who arrive here hopping to change their lives, and when they get here there is an impact.
Here, if you don't have an education, you don't have a job.
And these girls, when they get home there is nothing to eat,
their father doesn't even make a minimal wage.
They end up being driven by those people, who take advantage of them.
He told me to take my clothes off. Then he... He wanted to do that...
He had given me 20 reais.
The men that these girls name, they are powerful men in our city, we are nothing next to them.
They have a power in their hands that cries louder, its the money.
The names of the accused are kept in secret. They live unpunished in the city.
I see the denouncements that were made, but I dont see the result of these denouncements.
Considering the 9 accused, only 3 were indicted for crimes of *** of a vulnerable and *** abuse.
From what we know, none of them have been punished and I don't know how this will end.
It's clear that these people... Ever since I got here,
I already knew some of the names, I knew them.
This should be something like... this should be punished.
