The girl who reported being raped by a 25-year-old man after an evening spent in a club on the seafront in Civitanova Marche (Macerata) is only 14 years old.
The rape is said to have occurred during the night between yesterday and Wednesday, in the San Marone neighborhood.
The young girl, originally from the province of Ancona, had arrived on the Riviera with a friend two years older than her. Her family members had accompanied them to Civitanova and left them at the club. The relatives had remained in the area. The two girls had apparently accepted the invitation of two 25-year-old boys of North African origin to take a walk and have a drink. So they left the club without telling their family members.
The 14-year-old then went off with one of the two boys, who also offered her drugs, returning shortly after, around 2, to her distraught friend and telling her of the sexual assault. The two called 112 to report the incident. The Carabinieri of Civitanova Marche intervened.
The girl was taken to the emergency room for treatment and the pink protocol for women who suffer violence was activated. She was joined at the hospital by her family. The 14-year-old was discharged after 24 hours.
The carabinieri are examining the premises' cameras to trace the two boys with whom they left on foot.
