Free after rape of 13-year-old, Meloni: Ahead on security but with certain sentences it's difficult

A 42-year-old employee at a mini-market in Turin was arrested after allegedly sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl who entered the store to buy snacks for her siblings. The incident was captured on internal cameras, which also recorded another abuse against an adult woman just 40 minutes earlier. Despite this, the judge ordered his release after two nights in custody, citing 'repentance' and the trauma of arrest as potential deterrents. The ruling sparked widespread outrage, particularly among women, who criticized the underestimation of such violence. The government responded by sending inspectors to investigate the case, while Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned the sentence as undermining efforts to improve safety.
