Overview

• An 18-year-old was abducted from the San Zenone al Lambro station area late Aug. 30–31, beaten and raped in nearby vegetation, and later received care at Milan’s Policlinico and the Mangiagalli anti-violence center, where exams confirmed the assault.
• The Procura di Lodi is directing the inquiry with carabinieri units, collecting biological traces and acquiring CCTV from the station and nearby private cameras as the attacker remains at large.
• One outlet reports investigators have obtained the assailant’s DNA, which is being checked against databases, though authorities have not yet named a suspect.
• A preliminary reconstruction by prosecutors indicates the victim fought for about an hour, and investigators are examining footage that may show the man’s arrival or escape route.
• Regional officials called for night closures of risky railway underpasses and stronger surveillance, while the local mayor condemned victim-blaming comments that circulated on social media.
