Pinheiros, Brazil -- Law enforcement agents in Brazil's
northeastern town of Pinheiros trekked and canoed for nearly two hours
through rugged terrain to arrest a 54-year-old man accused of fathering
eight children with his two eldest daughters, a top regional
investigator said.

Pinheiros Regional Police Chief Laura Amelia Barbosa told CNN that
Jose Agostinho Bispo Pereira -- who was arrested Thursday after
complaints that he sexually abused his 29-year-old daughter, whom he
held captive -- fathered yet another child with his eldest daughter.

"He fathered seven children with his 29-year-old daughter and one
with his 31-year-old," Barbosa said.
The seven children born from his 29-year-old daughter range in age from 2
months old to 12 years, she said.
"We just learned that he fathered a child with his 31-year-old daughter.
... The 14-year-old is right here beside me," Barbosa said in a phone
interview with CNN.
"We also confirmed that two other of his children/grandchildren were
sexually abused," she said.
Pereira was arrested "in flagrante," Barbosa said, in the remote village
of Experimento. There, police interrogated Pereira and his 29-year-old
daughter, with whom he has had sex since she was 12, police said.
"She is still very fond of him," Barbosa said of the 29-year-old. The
31-year-old managed to escape, she said.
During an interview with CNN affiliate Record TV on Thursday, Pereira
said he knew he was committing a crime by molesting his daughters.
"It is a crime. I know that it is a crime," Pereira said. "But she was
committing the crime as well, wasn't she? Then, I had to do it."
