Custody Upheld for Treviso Teacher and Rome Journalist in Child Abuse Case

Judges cite risk of repeat offenses based on evidence from seized devices.

Overview

  • The gip ordered continued detention after finding persistent danger of reoffending and detailed incriminating material in phones and chats.
  • The 52-year-old teacher remains in Giudecca and the 48-year-old journalist in Rebibbia following custody validation hearings held on Tuesday.
  • Investigators are examining WhatsApp and Telegram exchanges that include photos and videos of the teacher’s daughter and her young nephews, with possible wider sharing under review.
  • The teacher has denied wrongdoing through her lawyers, while the journalist gave spontaneous statements to the judge; both are under investigation for sexual violence and child pornography offenses.
  • The Rome file is being transferred to the Venice district prosecutor for territorial competence, as a parallel Latina case sees prosecutors seeking 16-year sentences for a mother and her lover over separate child abuse charges.
