«To those he saw as more inexperienced he proposed the creation of short films “on violence against women”. He played the part of the male actor and tried to rape them." It is part of the story of a 35-year-old originally from Cagliari, model and influencer, whose testimony contributed to triggering the investigation which then led to the arrest of the owner of the MIA Models Italian Academy in Corneliano d'Alba (Cuneo).

Photographer and self-styled talent scout, the 46-year-old has been in prison in Turin since yesterday, accused by five girls of sexual assault, while a 36-year-old collaborator from Bra is under house arrest.

The author of the first complaint says she was harassed in a farmhouse in the Cuneo countryside, where she had gone for a photo shoot. Then she began to investigate the agency's activities for months, collecting the stories of girls who had undergone even more traumatic experiences than hers, up to and including violence.

Not only that: in several cases, explained the 35-year-old Sardinian, blackmail was added to the abuse, such as threats to request exorbitant penalties or to disseminate intimate photos.

A spiral interrupted by the Carabinieri of Alba: «I make an appeal to all the girls that we were unable to intercept, because not all of them have social networks: contact them».
