Erberth Santos, a 3x BJJ world champion, has been accused and arrested on multiple counts of robbery and rape.
Reports indicate that he has confessed to the crimes during interrogation, together with another fighter named Andre Pessoa.
According to the investigation, the athletes raped at least four women.
The “Campo Grande News” portal released a video showing one of Erberth Santos’ crimes in Três Lagoas. The video shows Santos being accompanied by another man, with one of them having set up a date on an escort site with a call girl.
The 24-year-old was raped and robbed in the house where she lives.

In a separate case, Santos and Pessoa went to a different house and hired the services of call girls in Campo Grande.
Then, when they arrived to the residence, one of them went to the bedroom with one of the girls, while the other stayed downstairs. One of them got aggressive and attacked a girl, after which both of them had their hands tied.
The girls were raped and robbed of approximately R$ 700 and cell phones.

Santos has decided to break his silence on what had happened.
Several days ago, he shared an Instagram story on which he wrote in Portuguese: “Don’t believe it”, probably in response to the news surrounding his arrest.
