WTH? 60-Year Old Man Caught Having Sex With 11-Year Old Girl Freed Because Court Thinks They Are In Love
A court has annulled a five-year jail term for a 60-year-old
man who was caught having sex with an 11-year-old-girl because they have a
‘romantic relationship’. The supreme court in the southern Italian town of Catanzaro
ruled that it was a ‘real relationship’. The young girl is said to be from a
disadvantaged background and was in the care of a man who works for the town’s
social services department. However, police raided the man’s seaside villa to find the
pair naked in bed together.
The man was given a five-year sentence for sexual violence
against a minor, as the age of consent is 14 and rises to 16 when one of the
partners is in position of authority or care over the younger participant.
