A paedophile who dragged a 12-year-old girl into his home in a suitcase, then tied her to the bed and told her she was his “sex slave” has been sentenced to 45 years in prison.
Shocking footage shows Daniel Moraes Bittar, 43, struggling to pull the suitcase up two flights of stairs in his home in Luziania, Brazil on June 28 last year.
Bittar kidnapped the child outside her school with the help of his 22-year-old girlfriend and accomplice Gesielly de Souza Vieira.
The girl was pushed into a car and Souza Vieira held a cloth soaked in chloroform in front of her face, while Bittar threatened her with a knife.
Her legs were shackled and she was put in a suitcase. The suitcase was placed in the trunk as they drove to a wooded area to dump her cell phone.

The 43-year-old man, who worked as a civil servant, was only caught when police were alerted to the gruesome CCTV footage and found the victim half-naked and handcuffed to his bed.
She had bruises and chemical burns and medical examination after she was rescued confirmed that she had been sexually abused.
According to police, sexual objects, stun guns, cameras and pornographic material were found at the scene of the horrific attack in June last year.
A jerry can of petrol was also found, leading police to suspect he intended to burn the girl’s body after raping her.
Bittar, who was seen on video being interrogated while crying by officers, has now been sentenced to 45 years and nine months in prison.
De Souza Vieira was also sentenced to 29 years and two months in prison for her part in the horrific crime.
Both were also ordered to pay £11,400 in compensation to the victim, whose name has not been released.
In the footage following his arrest, the police officer can be heard asking Bittar: ‘Is the girl there in your house?’

Then he nods shyly and says “yes,” to which the officer asks, “What is she doing in your house?”
The 43-year-old begins to ramble 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, who is visibly nervous, says: ‘She’s just there, I haven’t done anything with her yet.’
Detective Joao Guilherme Medeiros told the media in July last year: ‘The victim stated that Bittar touched her intimate parts and that she was forced to touch his genitals.
“The girl said that he threatened her all the time and said that she would be his sex slave. He also filmed the abuse that was committed against the student and sent it to his girlfriend. The victim told us that he had mentioned Geisy’s name on the phone.”
He added: ‘We have footage of him putting the suitcase in the EcoSport since Monday 26. The planning of the crime is very clear.

‘Actually, he had another girl in mind, a thirteen-year-old girl, who has already been questioned by our team.
‘This potential victim was known to the co-defendant because she lived near Daniel’s girlfriend. This girl was their target.
“For some reason, on June 28, they changed their minds and went to the school in Luziania. At first, they observed children and teenagers, and then they walked down a nearby street to the victim we found in captivity.”
