A 25-year-old man, a Moroccan citizen, was arrested by the police in Tivoli accused of sexual assault against a 16-year-old girl. The rape occurred last August in a public park in the hamlet of Villalba, in the municipality of Guidonia Montecelio.
According to what was reconstructed by the Tivoli Prosecutor's Office, the minor had met the boy a few months earlier, the two, after having become friends, had exchanged telephone messages on social media and, then, one evening, at the end of August, they met near of a bar where they had arranged to meet, they had taken a walk and then went to a public park where they sat on a bench, chatting calmly as two friends would do.
Suddenly the man's violence erupted. The girl managed to free herself: terrified and in tears, she managed to walk away after being threatened by the man not to tell anyone what had happened.
The victim, after confiding in a cousin and a friend, found the strength to tell the facts to her parents, who immediately went to the police station to file a complaint. After the protected hearing of the 16-year-old, the arrest was made: the 25-year-old, tracked down in the Villalba neighbourhood, was immediately transferred to prison.
