Da Silva Claudino’s victim told the court: ‘The guy I thought I knew (who is on left and right) turned out to be a complete stranger’
‘The guy I thought I knew turned out to be a complete stranger,’ the victim said.
‘My dignity was sold for 12 dollars and 99 cents’.
The victim – a working professional – said the clips had been online for months when he discovered the videos while getting ready one morning.
He thought he had simply discovered his partner’s ‘secret double life’ as a porn star but soon came to terms with the enormity of what had happened.
‘I started blaming myself immediately, wondering why I didn’t know,’ he said.
‘I was fighting back tears and suppressing the urge to scream by clenching my fists.’
The victim said he felt horrified, humiliated and sickened as he watched the videos in full for the first time at the police station.
Da Silva had even placed pictures of the victim’s face next to the recordings to make sure he was ‘properly identifiable’.
Ashamed, the victim said he became a ‘grown man afraid of the outside world’ and a ‘shell’ of a person.
He feared strangers would recognise him on the street.
Tattoos he etched on body to mark the birth of his children now feel ‘like branding’, and he is seeking to have them removed.
‘A proud dad moment, now like a filthy stain on my body.’

The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said the ordeal had hurt his career, his self-image, his psychology and his relationships with others.
Da Silva Claudino also pleaded guilty to public indecency charges over repeated public masturbation while he was on bail.
He was seen exposing himself near Inner Sydney High School, at Prince Alfred Park and on the footpath, among other places.
‘I will never again feel like the person I was before,’ the victim said.
Prosecutors have asked for a sentencing assessment report to be completed, with Da Silva Claudino’s solicitor Brett Galloway telling the court his client wanted to return home to Brazil.
Da Silva Claudino will return to court for sentencing on September 18.
