Abuse of a 13-year-old, released for showing remorse

A 42-year-old man accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in Turin was released after 48 hours in custody despite the prosecutor’s opposition. The judge ruled that there was no risk of flight and did not validate the detention. The incident has sparked strong reactions across Italian politics, with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni criticizing the judicial decision, arguing that all legal procedures were followed correctly but the outcome undermines efforts against crime. Other politicians from both major parties expressed concern over the handling of such serious cases involving minors. The victim described her traumatic experience, including feelings of nausea and shock, and sought support from a friend afterward.
