Just as the mainstream media is dedicating loads of time and energy to discredit “The Sound of Freedom,” a film about child sex trafficking that beat out “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” at the box office, a horrifying video of a Brazilian pedophile dragging a kidnapped 12-year-old girl stuffed inside a suitcase up two flights of stairs to his apartment has gone viral on Twitter.
A young girl who was reportedly kidnapped with the help of the man’s 22-year-old girlfriend.

Daniel Moraes Bittar, 42, and his girlfriend Gesielly Souza Vieira allegedly grabbed the little girl outside her school on June 28th, shoved her at knifepoint into their car, and held a cloth soaked in chloroform to her face, the Daily Mail reports.
The child’s legs were cuffed and the duo zipped her up inside the suitcase before tossing it in the trunk.
A school friend of the girl witnessed the abduction and called the police.
Bitter was later arrested and, after initially denying any wrongdoing, confessed to having “pedophilic inclinations” and said he had considered “chemical castration.”
The details of the victim’s ordeal are the stuff of every parent’s most haunting nightmares.
When discovered in the apartment, police say the little girl was cuffed by her feet to the bed, covered in bruises and chemical burns.
She had been sexually assaulted, subsequent examinations confirmed.

“The victim stated that Bittar touched her intimate parts and that she was forced to touch his genitals,” Detective Joao Guilherme Medeiros said at a press conference. “The girl said he threatened her all the time and said she would be his sex slave. He also filmed the abuses committed against the student and sent them to his girlfriend. The victim told us that he mentioned Geisy’s name on the phone.”
“Electric shock devices, cameras, sex toys, and pornographic material” were found during a search of Bittar’s apartment, as was a container of gasoline, “leading the police to believe he may have planned to burn the girl’s body after raping her.”
The crime was planned at least three days in advance, Medeiros said, with the couple scoping out the school for their victim.
“We have footage of him putting the suitcase in the EcoSport since Monday 26th,” Medeiros told the local press. “The planning of the crime is very clear.”
“In fact, he had in mind another girl, a 13-year-old, who has already been interviewed by our team,” he continued. “This potential victim was known to the co-defendant because she had lived near Daniel’s girlfriend. This girl was their target.”
“For some reason, on 28th June, they changed their minds and went to the school in Luziania and initially observed children and teenagers,” the detective said, “and then, on a nearby street, they approached the victim we found in captivity.”

In a gut-wrenching twist, police say Bittar has a daughter of his own and volunteered at children’s hospitals before his arrest.
Viera is a mother of two.
On social media, the couple presented themselves as upstanding members of the community.
Police say Viera claimed to be a Christian, and Bittar repeatedly condemned child abuse in posts.
“Pedophiles disguise themselves as good people to approach children. I’m saying they act pragmatically,” Detective Medeiros said. “We have come across several cases like this. That’s why parents need to be very careful. But even those of us who are experienced are shocked by what happened.”
Bittar and Viera have been charged with aggravated unlawful restraint, sexual abuse of a minor, and torture. If convicted, they face up to 30 years in prison.
