The death of 17-year-old Alice, which took place after almost six years: "Behind the suicide, the video of a gang rape"

On May 18, 2017, she committed suicide by jumping off the Rupe Atenea in Agrigento. He was only 17.

And today, almost six years later, the reason for the tragic gesture emerges. The girl, Alice, had been forced to have sex with four boys she regularly attended and the sex scenes - filmed with a cell phone - were filmed among all the boys in the group.

For two years he had tried to forget the horror suffered, then he decided to end it with a flight of hundreds of meters.

The family had filed a first complaint against unknown persons for instigating suicide, filed by the Agrigento prosecutor's office. But the investigations went ahead and the police found the footage, thus managing to reconstruct the reason why the girl killed herself.

The case was forwarded to the Palermo prosecutors because the hypothesis of dissemination of child pornography material was advanced against the 4 suspects - two of whom were minors at the time of the events - a crime falling within the competence of the District Attorney's Office. The two who were of age at the time of the rape were notified of the conclusion of the preliminary investigations, a preparatory act for the request for indictment. For the two minors, who are now 22 years old, the juvenile prosecutor's office is proceeding, also in Palermo.

The four are accused of having created and produced child pornography with a fifteen-year-old forced "with violence and abuse" to suffer intercourse. The aggravating circumstances of having made videos with a minor of 16 and of having committed the act "in several people gathered" are also contested.

The girl, before jumping into the void, had written a long post on Facebook: «None of you know and will ever know what I've had to live with for a while now. What happened to me could not be told, I could not and this secret inside me is eating me. I tried to live with it and in some moments I was so good at it that I didn't care but never forget it. Why do I have to endure all the moments no? Which even if I don't care, are stressful enough, if even when everything goes well and as I say, my thoughts are always there? I'm not a quitter, a weak person, I'm overbearing, I always want to fall on my feet and I always want to win, but this time I can't fight because I can never win, how I can't continue living like this, even pretending Like this".

The four Agrigento suspects for the prosecution would have abused the physical and mental inferiority of the young woman, who would have been under the influence of alcohol. And they would have done so despite the young woman having repeatedly uttered phrases that leave no room for misunderstanding: "I don't want to, I can't, I'm killing myself, please, I feel bad". In turn they would have forced her to undergo sexual intercourse by filming the scene and then divulging it to other friends.
