Lohana França (PV), who is currently a state deputy, was elected federal with 107,213 votes this Sunday (4). A victim of rape and death threats, Lohanna defends agendas on ending violence against women and increasing female representation.

To g1, Lohanna thanked the miners for their trust and highlighted the main issues that will be worked on during her mandate.

"I would like to thank every miner, every miner. I will work for everyone who believes that education can change people's lives, that the SUS is everyone's right, that culture is a factor in economic development and that women need and should be respected," he said.

Threat of rape and death

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.
