Parents discover their daughter was sexually abused by a Priest after finding shocking sketches of the assault

Parents of a five-year-old girl in Brazil discovered heart-breaking sketches showing how she was allegedly sexually abused by a 54-year-old priest - Father Joao da Silva. According to reports, the little girl suddenly refused to attend any more of da Silva's English classes. She was so distraught that they took her to a child psychologist who suspected sexual abuse and urged her parents to search her room for any signs.

They decided to do so and found hidden among her books - six heartbreaking drawings by their daughter detailing the sexual abuse.

"One drawing shows a man apparently looming over a child who has a look of abject terror on her face. Another harrowing image apparently shows a girl lying on a bed with a man forcing himself between her legs. Underneath him the picture appears to show the girl screaming in either fear or agony."

When the angry father confronted the priest via a phone call, the cleric confessed to him. Police have taken the priest into custody and he is being interviewed over the child abuse allegations.
