“He worries a lot about the children because this affects him. It got so bad that people wrote to the children on Instagram. Even though they have it private, and I told them not to look, they have done so and it has ended up affecting them. They know their father hasn’t done this.”

Even if Alves is proven innocent, he might be imprisoned for two years unless his lawyer can persuade the judge to release him on bail.
