In this paper, we analyze the verdict in cases of acquittal in sexual crimes occurred at Irati County, in the state of Paraná, in the first five years of the 1940s. Based on texts that dwell on the context involving sexual crimes in the first half of the 20th century, we articulate the bibliographic discussions with the qualitative assessment of the sources, situated in a moment of transition between the Penal Codes, and the debates involving such nature of crime. In common, besides the acquittals, the cases are characterized by being judged by the same judge, who, in his acquittal decisions, condemned women’s behavior.Downloads
