A teenage influencer is demanding justice in Brazil after saying she was drugged, raped and beaten by a group of fellow influencers.
Geovana Pontes claims the group invited her to a party, where they attacked her.
The 19-year-old shared photos with her nearly 250,000 followers on January 29, showing injuries she said were caused by the attack.
Shockingly, she accused other social media influencers of raping and beating her, as well as a friend who was also invited to the party at a farm.
She captioned the graphic photos, which showed her bloodied face and her apparently lying on the ground, with the word “Justica!!!” (‘Justice’).
Another photo showed her outside a police station.

Pontes (pictured), who has almost 250,000 Instagram followers, is now demanding justice after saying she was drugged, raped and beaten by a group of fellow influencers
Pontes’ post has gone viral in the past month, with nearly 200,000 likes alone.
She has now spoken to local media outlet Record TV about her online claims, saying it took place at a party on a farm in Igarata, in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo.
She said she was drugged and forced to have sex with at least three young men.
Pontes also claims she was invited to the party and went with a friend, who was also attacked by the group of men.
She claims the men locked a door, preventing her and her friend from leaving.
“There was no food, there was no signal, there was nothing. There was no way I could get out. No one came in and no one left the house,” she told Record.
Pontes claimed that “(one of the influencers) grabbed me by the neck and punched me in the mouth. At that moment everything fell backwards, and two others said, “Yes, it really hit home. That’s it. That’s what you deserve.”
‘I had sex without my consent. I was vulnerable. I didn’t know what was happening.’
The Brazilian newspaper reports this Oh GloboPolice are investigating a complaint from the teenager of rape, aggression and false imprisonment.
Sao Paulo Civilian Police told the newspaper that the case “is being investigated by the Igaratá Police Station,” the newspaper reported.
In a statement released by O Globo, police said: ‘Police requests have been made and, due to a new report of sexual abuse, a further investigation has been requested from the Legal Medical Institute (IML).
“Those involved are identified by the team to be qualified and called up. In the same way, the victims will be heard to contribute to clarifying the facts.
“The investigations are continuing in secret.”

On Tuesday – more than three weeks after the alleged attack – Pontes commented on the pace of the investigation via social media.
In a conversation with her followers, she called for patience.
“There are people who think I’m the one doing justice,” she said. ‘I am doing my part, but unfortunately justice does not happen overnight.
‘What do you want me to do? Call in the judge, the police, to solve my case? It’s not like that, everything is a process,” she added.
