A concert by Brazilian pop star Anitta was marred by a wave of alleged violence, including reports of r•pe, theft and spiked drinks.
 

In the most abhorrent claim, a 32-year-old man told police that he was drugged and r•ped during the event that took place in the São Paulo city of Ribeirão Preto on Sunday.
The victim said he did not remember what took place after and woke up Monday experiencing pain, according to the São Paulo Department of Public Safety.
 

At least 85 people, meanwhile, reported robberies and cell phone theft, according to Brazilian news outlet G1. Various victims said they were contacted by the actual cell phone thieves who asked that they remove their mobile company accounts from the devices so that they could be used.
 

Several concertgoers told Brazilian newspaper Metropoles that their drinks were spiked with 'Goodnight Cinderella,' a substance that can cause a person to lose consciousness and difficulty breathing.  One couple reported passing out near Comercial Stadium before being robbed of their belongings. 
 

They slammed Faro Eventos, the concert promoter, of being at fault, citing 'unpreparedness, carelessness, and lack of structure and organization on the part of Faro, the event's production company.' 

 

A public relations company for Anitta's pre-carnival concert series, 'Ensaios da Anitta,' said in a statement to Metropoles that São Paulo Civil Police was investigating the incidents with the assistance of Faro Eventos.  source
