New threats for the young victim of group rape in Palermo: a boy and his mother threaten her with a knife

Last Updated: April 2, 2024

Threatened with a knife, dragged into a house in the Ballarò district of Palermo, while she was with her boyfriend. This is what the twenty-year-old told the carabinieri, who last July had been taken to an abandoned construction site and raped by seven boys, now in prison. The girl’s boyfriend – according to her own account – was immobilized and when he managed to free himself he ran to the carabinieri where, after a while, the girl and the two aggressors also arrived. The carabinieri are still investigating to reconstruct the incident, also thanks to the surveillance cameras. For the gang rape of last July, the only minor in the group has already been sentenced to 8 years and eight months in an abbreviated trial. On April 19, the preliminary hearing is scheduled for the other six members of the gang.
