Palermo victim of assault ends up in prison for sexual violence

A 21-year-old young man, who had been the victim of a beating on May 9th in Bagheria, near Palermo, is now in Pagliarelli prison charged with sexual assault against a girl. This is the conclusion of a story that led to the discovery of a rape that allegedly took place in Palermo and the subsequent revenge attack organized by the girl’s family. Police managed to track down the three attackers, including the girl’s father.

The father told investigators that the victim of the beating had raped his daughter after a night spent at a club in the city. So the father, brother, and another person waited for the young man to come out of a barbershop to brutally beat him. Initially, it seemed like just another act of violence in the nightlife scene in Palermo and the surrounding area. The boy, stunned and bleeding, was taken to the hospital by emergency services for treatment.

Doctors had initially given him a prognosis of 20 days, but he asked to leave and signed himself out. During the investigation, the reason for the revenge attack emerged. Subsequently, prosecutor Clio Di Guardo, part of the group of magistrates specializing in vulnerable groups, requested and obtained a pre-trial detention order from the judge, which was executed last week.
