She had probably fallen in love, he took advantage of her twelve-year-old naivety and arranged to meet her in a secluded place where two of her fourteen-year-old friends were also waiting for her and raped and robbed her.

It happened on Friday night in a town in the province of Lecce where the dream of a romantic evening turned into a nightmarish evening of violence for a 12-year-old girl. All the protagonists of the story are minors. The investigations conducted by the Carabinieri are coordinated by the head of the juvenile prosecutor's office, Simona Filoni, who ordered the seizure of the cell phones of the three boys against whom it is assumed, in addition to the crime of aggravated sexual violence, also that of improper robbery because after the attack they also allegedly took possession of the 12-year-old's wallet.

According to an initial reconstruction of the incident, it was the older boy, who is 16 and who knew the 12-year-old, who arranged the meeting. However, when the girl arrived, she found two other friends of the young man waiting for her, who were said to be the material perpetrators of the violence and to have robbed her. The sixteen-year-old did not directly participate in the abuse, but remained to watch.

During the attack, the victim reportedly reacted and finally managed to escape and return home where she confided in a cousin and then in her father. The incident was then reported to the police and the girl was taken to the hospital. It has been learned that the 16-year-old was expelled from some schools in the area for violent behavior and, taking advantage of the fact that the girl had a crush on him, he made her give him money. His cell phone and those of his friends, which were seized, will also be investigated to understand if there was premeditation.

The victim's arms were found to have abrasions, probably due to his attempts to free himself from the grip of his attackers.
