As the investigation unfolded, an 8-year-old boy allegedly told the Special Victims Unit of the Sheriff’s Office that he had been the victim of several incidents of lewd and lascivious behavior by Pinto.
Pinto, the sheriff’s office said, has lived in the West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway area of Kissimmee, Florida, since 2020, and while living there befriended several Brazilian families in the area and offered to babysit and help with childcare.
