She accused the owner of a stall in the civic market in via Quirra in Cagliari of having groped her while she was doing her job.

After the complaint of the employee of a cleaning company, the 46-year-old is defending himself against the accusation of sexual violence before the judges of the First Criminal Section of the Court of Cagliari . After the prosecutor's discussion, the panel chaired by judge Giampiero Sanna asked to hear the testimony of the woman , who in principle confirmed the allegations in the courtroom, although she did not appear as a civil party.

The episode would have occurred on 4 July 2018, around 9.30 in the morning, when the defendant - defended by the lawyer Stefano Piras - would have groped the butt of the employee of the cleaning company, when the latter would have bowed to clean .

The prosecutor had asked for an 18-month prison sentence, believing that the crime had been committed. For defender Stefano Piras, on the other hand, it wasn't a matter of groping, but of a simple pat, therefore without any sexual reference .

The sentence is expected on 8 November.
