Lucca High School 'Rape List' Prompts Police Investigation After Mother Files Complaint

Prosecutors are evaluating the Lucca graffiti as possible instigation to sexual violence after authorities said it appeared to emulate a recent case in Rome.

Overview

  • A list naming two girls alongside the phrase 'rape list' was found on December 3 in a boys’ bathroom at Liceo Scientifico Vallisneri in Lucca, and the principal ordered it removed and alerted police.
  • The formal complaint was lodged by the mother of one student after her daughter received a photo of the writing, leading officers to attend the school later that day.
  • The Lucca Squadra Mobile and Questura are conducting inquiries to identify those responsible, with no suspects publicly named so far.
  • The Lucca prosecutor has opened a case against unknown persons on the hypothesis of instigation to commit sexual violence.
  • Student representatives condemned the act and paused public demonstrations at the request of the two girls, while officials noted the episode mirrors an earlier Rome incident now under prosecutorial review.
