Brazilian influencer claims she was drugged, raped on date

Duda Martins says met a man at a bar and had three drinks — next think she woke up 12 hours later with no memory of what happened.

A Brazilian fitness influencer has claimed she was drugged and sexually abused by a date and woke up 12 hours later clueless about what had happened.

Duda Martins, who boasts 207,000 followers on Instagram, said the incident took place at a beach bar after she met a man for a drink.

During an Instagram Live video with her lawyer Julia Nunes, Ms Martins said she went to meet the man at around 2.35pm on December 29, The Sun reports.

She recalled only drinking three glasses of gin, after which she did not remember anything about the next 12 hours.

After arranging to meet the man, she had a training session with a pal at 5pm.

But the friend could not get hold of her and later said that her phone was turned off the whole time, possibly by the suspect.

Ms Martins said she remembered waking up in the man’s apartment in the early hours of December 30, some 12 hours after meeting her date.

“When it was around 3.30am or 4am, I do not remember anything that happened to me, where I was, how I left, how I ended up at his house, or if anything happened to me,” she said.

“I just have the feeling that I was hurt, there are pictures that doctors took. I had bruises on my chest, bumps on my head, and my private parts were injured.

“So I wasn’t just drugged, I was totally hurt. When I woke up, I came back around and I was on his couch. At that point, I didn’t even realise that I was without my underwear.”

Ms Martins said she went to a nearby women’s hospital where she underwent examinations and took various medications after the incident in Maceio, Brazil.

Her solicitor Ms Nunes claimed “so far nothing has been done” to intercept the alleged perpetrator.

“On New Year’s Eve he was jumping around and having fun. How many other women could have been victims of this aggressor?” Ms Nunes claimed.

Appointed police delegate Maria Angelita confirmed on January 3 that they are investigating the allegations.
