A 42-year-old shopkeeper has been released on bail after being accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl at a minimarket in Madonna di Campagna, near Turin. The judge overseeing the preliminary investigation granted his release citing he was 'incensurato' (without criminal record), 'collaborative', and 'pentito' (repentant). The judge considered the trauma of arrest as a deterrent. The man had spent two nights in custody but was freed with the obligation to report to police. The prosecution had requested detention due to concerns over potential further offenses, noting the suspect allegedly committed similar acts within an hour, including another incident involving an unidentified adult woman captured on camera. The victim described the assault, which occurred shortly after she left her home to buy snacks. She reported feeling disgusted and nauseous afterward, leading to medical intervention under the Bambi protocol for child abuse cases.
