Regarding the contradictions in Alves’ versions, Martell explained that he lied “to protect his family” and because of a great “fear of revealing in public that he had been unfaithful to his wife.” In his first statement, Alves said that he did not know the girl who accused him of sexually assaulting him, and later that the relationships had been “consensual.”
