A young woman who accused William Pimenta Gusmão, brother of influencer Virginia Fonseca, of sexual harassment has spoken out for the first time. In an audio recording aired on the program "Melhor da Tarde" on Band, Rauriceia Martins da Costa accused the businessman and his former lawyer of pursuing, humiliating, and threatening her for three years. The incident occurred in April 2023 when William allegedly groped her after she asked for a photo at a party. William was initially acquitted in February 2025 due to lack of evidence, but after an appeal from the victim, a new trial in July 2026 partially reformed the decision, with judges convicting him for the first act of sexual harassment. Rauriceia detailed the alleged assault and accused William and his former lawyer of ruining her life, forcing her to leave her job, and causing her to spend money on psychological and psychiatric care. William's new legal team, represented by Giuliano Vettori, stated they will appeal the decision in higher courts.
