The juvenile court judge sentenced the only minor who took part in the gang rape of a nineteen-year-old in Palermo in an abandoned construction site in the Foro Italico to eight years and eight months. The trial was held in abbreviated form, the prosecutor had asked for 8 years. Also accused of the violence are the adults Angelo Flores, Cristian Barone, Gabriele Di Trapani, Christian Maronia, Samuele La Grassa, Elio Arnao who, at the moment, are all in prison: they too have asked to be judged with the abbreviated rite which will begin in April.
The minor was arrested in August: initially he was entrusted to a community, then he was locked up at Malaspina for having published comments and videos on social media in which he almost "claimed" the abuse. Also against him was a chat in which he admitted to a friend that the nineteen-year-old was not consenting.
The victim always reiterated that she had been attacked, that the relationship was never consensual and that she had shouted enough. The accused claim the opposite.
