A 31-year-old TikTok influencer has been arrested in Turin, Italy, on charges of sexual assault.

The man, originally from Morocco, allegedly abused a woman who had agreed to host him in her home.

The victim, a mother of three, reported that the influencer assaulted her on three occasions, threatened to throw acid on her face, and physically harmed her.

Police found the woman with a facial injury when they arrived.

The accused, who has a criminal record and faces deportation, denies the allegations, claiming the woman fabricated the story for social media attention.

Authorities have banned him from approaching the victim or staying in Turin while investigations continue.
