in the Baixada Fluminense region of Brazil
was shaken by a tragedy that gained national attention
Adult film actress Anna Beatriz Pereira Alves
died after falling from the balcony of an apart-hotel
The 23-year-old had reportedly invited two men to participate in a recording for OnlyFans
The influencer’s death raises questions about safety and the challenges faced by independent content creators in Brazil
The Civil Police are investigating the case
classifying it as a “death under investigation.” Security camera footage from the hotel is being analyzed
and the statements of those involved have been collected
the two men who were in the room with the actress gave conflicting accounts of the incident
making it difficult to determine what led to her fall
and forensic reports have yet to be released
Anna’s body was sent to the Forensic Medical Institute (IML) for examinations to determine the cause of death and whether there were signs of violence or the presence of illicit substances in her system
Investigators are considering multiple possibilities
ranging from an accident to potential criminal involvement
The case also sheds light on the vulnerabilities of professionals working in the independent adult content industry
The Baixada Fluminense Homicide Division (DHBF) is leading the case
Witnesses and hotel staff have been questioned
and forensic experts conducted an initial analysis of the scene
The victim’s phone was seized as part of the investigation
and authorities are searching for messages and records that may provide further insight into the events leading up to her death
The two men present at the scene gave differing accounts
One claimed that Anna had fallen accidentally during filming
while the other could not explain what led to the fall
The inconsistencies in their statements reinforced the need for a thorough review of the hotel’s security footage
The forensic report from the IML will be crucial in determining the next steps in the investigation
If evidence of aggression or substance use is found
new inquiries will be conducted to understand what really happened at the time of the fall
Anna Polly’s death has reignited the debate about safety in the independent adult content industry
The Brazilian market for this type of material has grown significantly in recent years
driven by the success of platforms such as OnlyFans and Privacy
Many content creators have found financial independence through self-produced material
but the lack of regulation poses several risks
Some of the main challenges faced by professionals in this sector include:
The case of Anna Polly highlights the vulnerability of these professionals and the urgent need for discussions on regulation to ensure greater safety
the platform where Anna Polly shared her content
has become a global phenomenon in recent years
Initially created as a space for content creators from various fields
the platform has gained prominence in the adult entertainment industry
allowing influencers to monetize their content directly
Some key features that have contributed to the popularity of OnlyFans include:
Although OnlyFans has provided new revenue opportunities
independent work models often lack the safety guarantees of traditional adult film productions
Anna Polly’s case is not the first incident involving adult industry influencers
Several other internet personalities have faced dangerous situations
highlighting the risks associated with working in this sector
These incidents underscore the urgent need for public policies to protect professionals in the adult entertainment industry and prevent further tragedies like Anna Polly’s
The case is being handled carefully by authorities
Investigators stress that the inquiry will be conducted technically
This tragedy has sparked an important discussion about the informality of the adult content sector and the dangers associated with the lack of regulations
Industry professionals are calling for greater safety measures and legal support to prevent similar cases from occurring in the future

It was not before a week of heavy rain and mud
that the IBGE News Agency reporting team could follow the census operation in a rural sector in the neighborhood of Jaceruba
each side of the street belongs to a different enumeration area and a different municipality.It may be hard to imagine
but there are rural areas 40 minutes from downtown Rio
the fourth largest city in terms of population in the state
Adding together the other two neighboring municipalities (Japeri and Queimados)
the region is home to more than 1 million inhabitants
divided into 2,136 enumeration areas – 135 of which are rural
there are 2,626 rural enumeration areas.“In rural areas
the sense of community is more present than in urban areas
And this sense of belonging is stronger than the political-administrative limits”
it is quite common for the same community with social organizations and common living areas to be divided into different municipalities”
cake and rooster peckingFarms prevail in the roadside landscape
it is common to find residents who have lived thier whole lives in the area
who was the household head of the first house visited on the day
“The one who answered before was my father
It is now the second time that I participate in the IBGE surveys”
he commented.The coordinator Feijó himself is well acquainted with everyone along the way
he has worked in several rural areas on the 2022 Census and other surveys
“The biggest difficulties are related to access
in addition to roads that are difficult to travel”
enumerator Victor Paes indicated displacement as the greatest difficulty
he had already walked more than 25 km to complete 108 questionnaires: “Normally
there are many stories of warm welcoming from local residents
“And many owners of commercial establishments
the percentage of absentees is usually lower
adds Feijó.During the collection at a farm
witnessed the census agent Monique Castro receiving a duck from the owner of the farm
who has also received free range eggs and several cakes.“The landlady just liked me
people do not always know what the Census is
they are very receptive and always offer something”
explains Monique.During his work in the region
Jayme Luiz heard different stories of migration
“It was a place where people went in search of tranquility
Because of the construction of the Metropolitan Arch
But it is also a place where families come to spend the weekend”
referring to the roads of the Metropolitan Arch of Rio de Janeiro
The house that André Sales takes care of is one of them
he says he comes to spend the weekends with his family
A family property with horses and lots of fish.According to Jayme
there are many curiosities about the region: they enumerated a household where all 16 children had the same first name: “And they said they would never leave there
he said.Have you ever heard of an enumerator chased by a dog
I was walking near a place with few houses and a little girl started yelling something at me." Before Victor could understand
a rooster jumped on top of him and started pecking at him: "I thought he had stopped and the child yelled 'he's coming back'"
Long story short: a pair of pants with holes all over it.For the superintendent of the IBGE State Branch in Rio de Janeiro
The good news is that the 2022 Population Census uses the same technology used in the 2017 Census of Agriculture
which shows the route and path of the enumerator
with the georeferencing of households and establishments
the coordinates of the questionnaires where they were carried out”
areas of rural use are places characterized by the dispersion of households and the usual presence of agricultural establishments
there are low-density urban areas and areas of environmental protection”
“Some municipalities in the Metropolitan Area provide cities with perishable products
It is also possible to find small herds,” he adds.According to ongoing agricultural surveys carried out by the IBGE in 2021
in addition to generating animal products such as milk and eggs
Nova Iguaçu had the highest production of quail eggs in the state of Rio de Janeiro
A curiosity is that the municipality of Nova Iguaçu was once one of the largest Brazilian exporters of oranges
between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.It is also possible to find small family crops
he returned to his birthplace after his father passed away
Cláudio showed the machinery and the cultivation of cassava and cupuaçu
“I found it very easy to answer the Census; when I realized
right on the border between the municipalities
enumerator Victor Paes also discovered an “establishment with another purpose”
Establishment with Another Purposes is a building used for other purposes than the specified options
in an area provided by the landowner.The person who showed the place was the resident across the street
who had lived there for eight months: “She had already approached me
says Paes.Rogéria explained that some people plant okra
to sell at the fair that takes place in the region on Saturdays
She also showed the chaya (spinach-like plant) they grow and prepared juice for the enumerator and supervisor
reinforcing typical rural hospitality.Walking a little further
the enumerator found a house with the resident Solano Gabriel: “I have lived here since I was a child
I like it and I am already used to the place”
It was not the first time that Solano answered the Census
it is important to participate: “It is a way of knowing who the people are
he summarizes.About JacerubaJaceruba has an Environmental Protection Area
on the border with Miguel Pereira and Japeri
the gastronomic festival has been celebrated
in order to strengthen the tourist potential of the place and reinforce the rural identity of the region.In the region
there is also the Tinguá Biological Reserve
created in 1989 to protect the region's natural heritage
with more than 26 thousand hectares and several springs
in an area of Atlantic Forest: "And the Census takes place there normally
I was careful to go into areas in and around the reserve
And we found residents,” says Feijó.Within the current Reserve
the Maciço do Tinguá was one of the main sources of water used to solve the water crisis in Rio de Janeiro
To take the workers who would work on the construction of the Tinguá dam
which was later used for passenger transportation
part of its railroad was used in the construction of line 2 of the Rio de Janeiro subway

"There is no basic accusation," he told Globo television
"There's nothing more than suspicions that he put posts on Facebook
that he posted links related to Islamic State
but which have nothing concretely to do with him
He has no link with Islamic State," the lawyer said
