A French tourist Of 19 years old was raped in the night of Ferragosto on a beach of Partinicoin the province of Palermo. The young woman was on the Italian island for holidays. Yesterday evening, Thursday 15 August, the 19-year-old was molested by a boy in the beach of Balestrate. She managed to escape by a miracle and reach some passers-by. They called the 118 emergency services and the police. The tourist was taken to the hospital in Partinico to carry out checks, while the Carabinieri of the local Company began to reconstruct the incident and look for the molester.
Thanks to the testimony of the girl (who provided the personal details of her attacker) and those provided by some witnesses present in the vicinity of the place where the violence was committed, the carabinieri were able to identify and locate a 27 year old boy. He would be the author of the violence, so much so that the abused tourist would have recognized him. It is not clear whether the two already knew each other or if they had met by chance on that fateful evening of August 15th. The girl said she had been raped and that she was managed to escape thanks to a stroke of luck. The 27-year-old, however, is being questioned by the police forces of the municipality of Palermo.
