A paedophile who dragged a 12-year-old girl home in a suitcase before handcuffing her to a bed and telling her she was his “sex slave” has been jailed for 45 years.
Horrifying images show Daniel Moraes Bittar, 43, struggling to carry his suitcase up two flights of stairs at his home in Luziania, Brazil on June 28th last year.
Bittar kidnapped the girl outside her school with the help of his 22-year-old girlfriend and accomplice, Gesielly de Souza Vieira.
The girl was forced into a car and de Souza Vieira placed a cloth soaked in chloroform on her face while Bittar threatened her with a knife.
They then handcuffed her legs and zip-tied her into a suitcase, which they placed in the trunk while they headed to a wooded area to leave her mobile phone.

Horrifying footage shows Bittar, 43, struggling to carry the suitcase up two flights of stairs at his home in Luziania, Brazil, on June 28 last year.
The 43-year-old, who worked as a civil servant, was only caught when police were alerted to the horrific CCTV footage and found the victim half-naked and handcuffed to her bed.
She had suffered bruises and chemical burns, and medical tests carried out after she was rescued confirmed that she had been sexually assaulted.
According to police, sexual objects, stun guns, cameras and pornographic material were found at the scene of the horrific assault in June last year.
A jerry can of petrol was also found, leading police to believe he may have planned to burn the girl’s body after raping her.
Bittar, who was seen on video moaning as he was questioned by police, has now been jailed for 45 years and nine months.
De Souza Vieira was also sentenced to 29 years and two months in prison for her role in the horrific crime.
They have also been ordered to pay £11,400 in compensation to the victim, whose name has not been revealed.
Bittar’s defense team has already said it disagrees with the ruling and will appeal.
In footage following his arrest, the police officer can be heard asking Bittar: ‘Is the girl at your house?’

She then nods shyly and says “yes,” to which the officer asks, “What is she doing in your house?”
The 43-year-old man begins to respond incoherently before the officer interrupts him and asks: “Where did you take her? Why did you take her? What did you do to her?”
Bittar, visibly nervous, comments: “She’s just there, I haven’t done anything to her yet.”
Detective Joao Guilherme Medeiros told the media in July last year: ‘The victim stated that Bittar touched her private parts and that she was forced to touch his genitals.
“The young woman said that he threatened her all the time and that she would be his sexual slave. He also filmed the abuse committed against the student and sent it to his girlfriend. The victim told us that he mentioned Geisy’s name on the phone.”
He added: ‘We have images of him putting the suitcase in the EcoSport since Monday 26th. The planning of the crime is very clear.
During a search of Bittar’s apartment (pictured), electric shock devices, cameras, sex toys and pornographic material were found.

‘In fact, I had in mind another girl, 13 years old, who was already interviewed by our team.
‘This potential victim was known to the co-defendant because he had lived near Daniel’s girlfriend. This girl was his target.
‘For some reason, on June 28, they changed their minds and went to the school in Luziania and initially observed children and teenagers, and then, on a nearby street, they approached the victim we found in captivity.’
