Halloween Nightmares: Two Assault Cases

Published: 2024-11-02

Two separate incidents of alleged sexual assault marred Halloween celebrations in Italy.

In Taranto, a 17-year-old girl reported feeling unwell after a party and was taken to the hospital, where doctors found injuries consistent with sexual assault.

Despite identifying a 25-year-old man as the alleged perpetrator, she has not filed a formal complaint.

Meanwhile, in Florence, a 26-year-old woman reported being assaulted in a city center accommodation after a night out.

She is currently hospitalized, and police are investigating, seeking security footage to identify the suspect.

Both cases highlight the ongoing issue of sexual violence and the challenges victims face in reporting such crimes.
