Italy has been shaken by the alleged gang rape of a 13-year-old girl in front of her boyfriend in a public park in the Sicilian city of Catania, the latest in a string of shocking sexual attacks in the country.
The case is reminiscent of two alleged gang rapes last summer. A group of seven men and teenage boys between the ages of 15 and 18 are currently on trial for the alleged rape of a 19-year-old girl in Palermo in August.
Weeks later nine young men were arrested and charged (https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/10/europe/italy-giorgia-meloni-sexual-violence-intl-cmd/index.html?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo) with allegedly raping two cousins aged 10 and 12 near Naples and broadcasting the attack live on social media. They, too, are facing trial.
Last month’s alleged gang rape in Catania has become not only a symbol of violence against women in the country, but a cause célèbre for Italy’s far-right government. The seven suspected perpetrators were all Egyptian migrants, three of them under the age of 18, Catania police confirmed to CNN.
The judge investigating the most recent case, Carlo Umberto Cannella, said the suspects were likely to re-offend because they were not “accustomed to civilization.”
That's Islamophobic, a worse crime than gang-rape of a child.
