He had told everything, as children and adolescents often do, in his diary. Sheets to which she had revealed what she didn’t tell others, that is, of her grandfather’s morbid attentions, of his gropings that made her uncomfortable, of those abuses that had affected her psychologically.
That diary was then seized by the agents of the Como Mobile squad, becoming one of the sources of evidence put on the table by the public prosecutor in the request for conviction. And the Como college accepted the requests, sentencing the grandfather – who is now 85 years old – to seven years in prison for the abuse of his granddaughter, committed since the little girl was seven years old and continued for a long time, over a period of time. of time between 2009 and August 2015.
The matter concluded in the last few hours, with the prosecutor Massimo Astori in the courtroom who had handled the case.
The accusations spoke of groping the private parts of the little girl who lived with her grandfather, abuse that occurred when the other relatives were not at home. A crime aggravated by the age of the child, who was not yet 14 years old, and by the family relationship.
The initial report had arrived on the table of the Como Prosecutor’s Office and then of the Mobile team from a clinic in the city.
Two psychologists, speaking with the girl, despite some reluctance, had begun to highlight the episodes later deemed worthy of reporting. The investigations thus began, until arriving at that diary in which the victim had written everything. Diary that the police officers immediately seized.
Stories which, as the investigation continued, were then directly confirmed by her granddaughter, heard by the agents in February 2021.
