A Brazilian judge has ordered a conservative Brazilian congressman to pay a colleague more than $2,500 for saying she wasn’t worth raping.
Judge Tatiana Dias da Silva ordered Jair Bolsonaro to pay Maria do Rosario 10,000 reals ($2,560) for saying last December in a newspaper interview that she is not “worth raping; she is very ugly”.
One day before the interview, Bolsonaro said on the floor of congress that Rosario had called him a “rapist” in 2003, adding that he would not rape her because she didn’t “deserve it”.
Lawmakers in Brazil enjoy parliamentary immunity, which protects their speech, opinions and votes in congress. However, Judge Silva said the immunity would not apply to Bolsonaro because he made similar remarks later in the interview.
