First the robbery , then the sexual abuse in the entrance hall of a building in the historic center of Florence . The victim is a 21-year-old American , a student in the Tuscan city, who told the police what happened in the night between Wednesday and yesterday. According to initial reconstructions, the young woman initially only reported the robbery, then, after going to hospital, the pink code was activated. Next came the story of the sexual assault.
The case, however, would not be isolated and could have a connection with what happened to another foreign student, a 20-year-old originally from Central America , who on the night between 21 and 22 November reported having been attacked in the entrance hall of another building in the historic center, also in Florence. The man first stole her cell phone, then tried to rape her. But her screams stopped him and made him flee. The two episodes less than 24 hours apart.
The 21-year-old initially told the officers that after entering the entrance hall of a building where some friends live, a man took her cell phone and then ran away. About half an hour after the pink code alert and the missing piece of the story: there would have been two attackers and one of them would have sexually abused her. Then the duo escapes, with the stolen phone. Law enforcement agencies are working to reconstruct and confirm what was reported by the victim.
