Terrible episode of urban violence in Rome. A 17-year-old boy was robbed and sexually abused on the street last night. It happened in via Ottaviano di Montecelio, in the Casal Monastero area.
The boy was approached by two peers as he got into the car: the two first had money and a cell phone delivered, then abused him. Finally they got into his minicar and were taken to his house where they forced him to hand over another 200 euros before fleeing.
But the two perpetrators, both Tunisians aged 17 and 18, were arrested shortly after by the police. The victim's parents raised the alarm by providing their son's model and mobile phone number, the two were tracked down with geolocation and stopped in the San Giovanni area. They are accused of aggravated robbery and sexual assault.
