Six years ago , in 2017, his daughter reported him claiming that she had suffered sexual violence and mistreatment from him. Very serious accusations, which had also led to the arrest of his father.
In the trial that has now concluded, the man, a 48-year-old Romanian national residing in Pavia, was however acquitted by the Court . An acquittal that came after the girl , who is now 23, completely retracted the charges .
During a hearing the girl explained that she had invented the story of the violence only because she wanted to be freer from a parent she considered too strict . Not surprisingly, she had also run away from home.
The judges believed in this new version of the daughter, completely exonerating the father.
The prosecutor instead had asked for an 8-year sentence for the man.
