Can only the victim file a complaint under the Maria da Penha Law? | Men's Rights Defense
Did you know that it's not always necessary for a woman to file a complaint for a man to be prosecuted for domestic violence?
In this video, Dr. Vinícius Vieira — a criminal defense lawyer specializing in the defense of men accused of domestic violence — explains when a complaint can be filed by a third party and when the law requires the alleged victim's consent.
🔍 You will understand:
When the criminal action is public and unconditional (as in cases of bodily harm) and the woman's will does not interfere with the investigation.
When the criminal action is conditional upon the victim's complaint, as in crimes of stalking and threats (the latter only before 10/10/2024).
What happens if a neighbor, family member, or friend files the complaint.
And what changes after the recent amendment to the law.

🎯 Watch until the end and find out if anyone can report you — and what to do if that happens.
