"All men who have an electronic ankle bracelet, their ex-partners or women who were victims can receive the panic button and know where this citizen is, and have the panic button activated. If he approaches less than 200 meters, the device goes off, and if he presses the button, the police are summoned to come to my aid", he explains.

"It doesn't solve everything, but it helps us to be able to react if the aggressor is close to us", adds Lohanna. Remember the case State deputy Lohanna França (PV) registered the first police report in August 2023 after receiving a threat of rape and death in the corporate email of the Legislative Assembly of Minas Gerais (ALMG). In October of the same year, the parliamentarian received another threatening message also on the internet. Based on this, an investigation initiated by the Public Ministry of Minas Gerais (MPMG), the Civil Police of Minas Gerais (PCMG) and the Military Police of Minas Gerais (PMMG) concluded that the threats were planned and executed in forums and anonymous groups on the internet, called "chans". ?"Chans" is the abbreviation for "channels", that is, channels. These spaces are anonymous (90% are found on the deep web) and the golden rule is to prohibit the presence of women. Suspect was arrested in another state The main suspect in the attacks against state deputies was arrested in 2025, in a task force carried out in Olinda (PE). According to the Civil Police, the man, whose age was not disclosed, is also suspected of coercing teenagers to self-harm and send him nude photos. The suspect was located from his username in the "chans" groups. At the time, computers, cell phones and other objects were seized from him. He was brought to the José Martinho Drumond Penitentiary, in Ribeirão das Neves, where he served his sentence until June this year. MORE
