The main purpose of this work is to demonstrate that the crime of rape of the vulnerable has always been present in Brazilian society, but with the Covid-19 pandemic, the number of cases has increased signifi cantly. This time, the theme aims to address the legal typifi cation of the crime of rape of vulnerable in the Brazilian penal code, presenting historical and jurisprudential aspects, in addition to conveying the need to put oneself in the place of victims of sexual violence and alert, above all, to non-collaboration. with the omission of these cases, which need to be curbed by today’s society. It is undoubted that abused victims are constantly re-victimized, whether caused by the criminal agent, by state agencies or the population. In this context, it is clear that the brazilian authorities are numerous times silent, culminating in neglected victims, because, in addition to not having the strength to avoid the act, they are left aside, taking with them an eternal trauma. Initially, before discussing the crime of rape of the vulnerable and its notifi cations during the coronavirus pandemic, it is necessary to present the historical context, in order to show how the crime was legally treated from the beginnings of civilization to the present day.
