Hytalo Santos, a social media influencer, was arrested in São Paulo on charges of human trafficking and child sexual exploitation. He is also facing legal proceedings for false advertising. The arrest followed a video by YouTuber Felca that brought attention to the alleged exploitation of minors. Authorities accuse Santos of taking a minor to a brothel in 2020. His preventive detention has been upheld by the São Paulo judiciary, and subsequent habeas corpus requests filed by his defense have been denied by courts in São Paulo and Paraíba. Santos and his husband, Israel Nata, remain in custody and are set to be transferred to a prison in Paraíba, with the defense requesting relocation to Tremembé prison, known for housing high-profile inmates. Former employees have alleged that Santos provided alcohol to children to facilitate content creation. The case has prompted public discourse on the regulation of big tech companies to combat child exploitation, with Brazilian President Lula advocating for stronger government action. The family of Kamylinha, a minor linked to the case, has publicly addressed the situation, with the minor reporting past abuse by her father and subsequent residence with Santos. Social media platforms have removed videos related to the case, including statements from Kamylinha. Santos was reportedly seen in tears during his transfer from a police station with his husband.
