The claim
Prefeito de Belo Horizonte Fuad Noman escreve livro que narra estupro de uma criança
Original review summary
Fuad Noman’s fictional novel “Cobiça” includes a scene in which a girl says she was raped by her stepfather from age 12. The review says political opponents used the passage to accuse Noman of endorsing abuse, while a court found that campaign material removed the fictional passage from context.[S1]
Additional context
The review describes “Cobiça” as a 2020 novel and says it contains two distinct rape scenes; the child’s account appears in a later chapter. [S1]
On October 24, the review reports, an electoral judge ruled that campaign material presenting the passage as evidence of endorsement had taken it out of the fictional context. [S1]
