The Milan preliminary hearing judge, Maria Beatrice Parati, deemed Leonardo Apache La Russa's offer of €25,000 in compensation to be appropriate for the girl who reported him for revenge porn, as well as sexual assault, a charge that has already been dismissed. The same judge dismissed the charge against the Senate President's son . The preliminary hearing judge also sentenced his friend, DJ Tommaso Gilardoni, to one year in prison. He was also charged with unlawfully disseminating images without the young woman's consent for another video from that night between May 18 and 19, 2023. The girl never accepted La Russa Jr.'s compensation, but the judge declared it appropriate and essentially dismissed the case.
"I'm happy because the facts and the crime have been recognized," in the revenge porn trial against Tommaso Gilardoni, "and I will certainly challenge the decision regarding the appropriateness" of the compensation. These are, essentially, the words of the woman who filed the complaint. The young woman, represented by lawyer Stefano Benvenuto, will not receive the €25,000 provided by La Russa Jr. and will appeal the ruling of the Milan preliminary hearing judge.
In Gilardoni's summary trial, the judge awarded the young woman, a civil plaintiff, €7,000 in damages, plus legal fees. The defense attorney concluded by noting that he will also ask the prosecutor's office to investigate the "stolen kiss from Leonardo La Russa" to the girl, which emerged from the closed investigation, but which "the prosecutors, however, have not pursued."
