Corruption of a minor, mistreatment, and aggravated sexual assault: these are the crimes charged by the Catania Prosecutor's Office against a cohabiting couple, a 46-year-old man and a 30-year-old Romanian woman. Police arrested them pursuant to a pretrial detention order issued by the investigating judge. The victim of the abuse is a 12-year-old girl.

The investigation was launched after the school attended by the minor was reported to the Acireale police station. The teachers reported possible mistreatment and sexual abuse the child had suffered at home. After initial prompt checks, the victim and her siblings were immediately removed from the family home and placed in a protected facility.
