The 45-year-old from Cariati, but resident in Cirò Marina, who last July was arrested on charges of sexual assault against an 18-year-old was sentenced to 4 years in prison.
This is what the judge for the preliminary hearings of the Court of Crotone, Elisa Marchetto, ruled today. Which also ordered the payment of a provisional amount of 10 thousand euros which the accused will have to pay to the victim. The story dates back six months ago. The teenager had just left school and was returning home when she noticed the driver of a gray Fiat 500. The girl managed to enter the door of her condominium but at that point the man got out of the car and then attacked her in the entrance hall of the building, groping her private parts. The young woman had the ability to react by throwing a bunch of keys at the man and screaming.
Shouts that attracted the attention of a person who lives in the building who had come out to defend the 18-year-old so as to scare away the molester. In a short time, the policemen of the Crotone Flying Squad solved the case by identifying the alleged perpetrator of the violence on the one hand using the images of the surveillance cameras which immortalized the 45-year-old’s car and the license plate number, and on the other by listening to some witnesses. The arrest of the 45-year-old followed, which then led to his conviction. The 18 year old, as a civil party, was assisted by the lawyer Mario Nigro.
