" My client is 40% permanently disabled , has physical and psychological problems and can no longer be a model, the work she did".
This was stated by Luigi Liguori, lawyer of the young woman who was allegedly raped for hours in October 2020 when she was 18 , in the luxury penthouse a stone's throw from the Milan Cathedral by Alberto Genovese .
The entrepreneur is on trial in abbreviated form for those abuses and also for those against another girl, always stunned with a mix of drugs, the previous July in a villa in Ibiza. The former had offered 130,000 euros, the latter 25,000, figures that were rejected by the plaintiffs. According to Liguori, the damage caused to his client can be quantified in one and a half million euros.
On June 27, a psychologist, a defense consultant, will be heard in front of the gup Chiara Valori, then there will be the interrogation requested by Genovese and his ex-girlfriend, accused in competition for the violence on the Spanish island , will make spontaneous statements. On 7 July, letizia Mannella and prosecutors Rosaria Stagnaro and Paolo Filippini and the lawyers of the civil party speak.
The defenders, the lawyers Luigi Isolabella and Davide Ferrari, will intervene on 18 July. The verdict is expected to arrive on September 19 . For this case, explained Liguori, "complete investigations have been carried out and my client is now waiting for the outcome of the trial".
The lawyer reiterated that after the abuses he had to give up "the work, the contracts that he could no longer carry out given his conditions".
THE DEFENSE: "INCAPPLE TO UNDERSTAND AND TO WILL" - Alberto Genovese's "ability to understand and want" was "at the moment at least greatly diminished", also because "the cognitive alteration due to the abuse" of drugs it "prevented" him from "fully discerning the boundaries between the girl's initial consent" , the 18-year-old who was abused at Terrazza Sentimento, and "the subsequent loss of consent" and was unable to "understand when it was the right time to stop ".
The defense consultants (professors Pietrini and Sartori) write this in a report filed with the judge. In a 36-page technical report, the two experts, consultants to lawyers Luigi Isolabella and Davide Ferrari, write that Genovese had, due to chronic drug intoxication, a "pathological" mental state "characterized by important cognitive impairments" . And that evening in October 2020 he was unable to "discern" the initial consent given by the girl "in wanting to have sex in those conditions and take ketamine and the subsequent lack of consent". The clinical picture, it continues, "at the time of the facts was characterized by a chronic disorder" due to drug abuse, but also alcohol addiction, combined with a "psychotic disorder secondary to the use of substances", in addition to another personality with "histrionic, narcissistic and obsessive compulsive" traits.
A "vicious circle" that has led to an "imbalance of the psychic balance" of the entrepreneur. There were also effects on "his working activity", the consultants write again, which "in fact, after 2016, was reduced to essentially zero". Among other things, the two professors also report that the "abnormal" use of substances would have caused "the onset of brain atrophy". And a "cognitive decline", so much so that his cognitive levels that were above "average" are now within the "normal range" . Now, inserted for months in a home-based recovery community where he is detoxifying, "he appears to be a prudent person with no social danger". And now he has a "desire for social redemption": he wants to occupy his time at the "job placement of ex-drug addicts".
