The first complaint would date back to the summer of 2023when the mother of a 13-year-old boy noticed his change of mood and became suspicious that he was more and more often locked in the bathroom with the telephone.

The detectives’ investigations
As explained by Corriere della Sera, between mid-2021 and mid-2023 Piscina would have used the same type of approach to approach kids. Through an avatar, she was able to pretend to be a 16 year old named “Alessia” who promised to show herself naked, inducing her victims to do the same and to perform acts of autoeroticism.
This, according to investigators, would be “sexual violence“. The 25-year-old, in fact, albeit with the consent of the other person, did he was deceiving pretending to be who he wasn’t. Furthermore, in Piscina the “production” of child pornographywhich would be proven by the “thumbnails”, but not the “detention” because the chats would have been deleted.
For investigating judge Raimundo, who signed the order, precautionary custody in prison would be necessary due to the use of a Swiss encryption service which would be impervious to requests from the judicial authorities.
