In particular, the Crimes Against Persons Section of the Flying Squad of the Barletta Andria Trani Police Headquarters, following a report from the social services, started, under the direction of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Trani, an investigative activity on the aforementioned family unit.
The investigations carried out revealed numerous and continuous sexual abuses perpetrated by the man against his stepdaughter, who was just thirteen years old at the time. In order to prevent the victim from telling about the violence she suffered, today’s suspect often gave her gifts or gave her sums of money. A precautionary measure in prison has been ordered for the man.
In addition to the sexual abuse committed against only one of the minors, continuous physical and psychological mistreatment carried out by the mother towards all the offspring was ascertained. The elements collected against the woman were sufficient to trigger the application of the precautionary measure of house arrest against her too.
