A 14-year-old girl was allegedly
assaulted by a 14-year-old boy in a railway station bathroom
near Lecce in Puglia while her boyfriend, who had asked her to
meet him at the station, was listening to the assault in an
adjacent room, last July 28, sources said after police served
the alleged perp with an arrest warrant Wednesday.
He has been charged with aggravated sexual violence.
The boy, who has just turned 15, has been arrested after nine
months of investigation and has been placed in a youth home
while police are now looking at the boyfriend's position, legal
sources said.
The alleged rape was stopped, police said, by the arrival of the
girl's mother who returned to the station after taking her
daughter there because she was worried that she wasn't answering
her phone.
