He saw him playing alone and approached. But the child, having understood his bad intentions, filmed him with his cell phone, allowing the police to locate him and arrest him.
It happened in the province of Bari, the facts date back to last August.
The boy was in the backyard when the 76-year-old from Bari came forward and tried to lure him with explicit sexual advances. The victim managed to free himself and immortalized, with his mobile phone, the salient moments of the attempted approach. Then the child returned home, telling his parents everything and showing what he had filmed on the smartphone.
The man was arrested on charges of attempted aggravated sexual assault.
The investigations of the mobile squad that led to the arrest order issued by the investigating judge of the Bari Court at the request of the Prosecutor's Office found confirmation in the protected listening of the child victim of the attempted solicitation and also in the statements of some witnesses.
