Javier Maranhao is a Brazilian serial rapist who sexually assaulted several women around the world.
History[]
Using his status as a navy officer, Javier would travel the world and rape women. He would torture the women nearly blinding them. Two of his rapes, which took place in New York, were attributed to Omar Peña until 2012. The Special Victims Unit and one of his Navy comrades teamed up and subsequently lured and detained Javier at a bar. After the DNA was matched to all five crimes, he was presumably charged with five counts of rape and torture and imprisoned.
