Aggravated sexual assault on a 10-year-old girl. This is the charge hanging over the head of a 76-year-old to whom the State Police of Ariano Irpino, in the province of Avellino, notified a house arrest order. The measure came at the end of the investigations coordinated by the Benevento Prosecutor's Office.
The suspect, a repeat offender, has been banned from meeting with minors (even relatives). The investigations began after a Facebook post published by the grandfather of the little victim. The elderly man, summoned to the police station, confirmed the confessions made by his granddaughter about the abuse she had suffered. A theory repeated by the little girl, listened to in protected mode in the presence of a psychologist, who reported what she had experienced to a friend, her mother and her father's new partner. And all of them, listened to by the investigators, confirmed the story, facilitating the identification of the 76-year-old.
The man was recognized in a photo by the victim herself, who was also able to reveal the exact day she had been abused. Investigators, after conducting research on the web, were able to confirm the statements made.
