Overview
- The suspect, an Ecuadorian citizen, was detained by the Porta Monforte unit and placed under house arrest on accusations of sexual violence.
- Authorities attribute two incidents to the same individual, one on August 12 in Bussero against a 15-year-old and another on September 19 in the Milan area against a 16-year-old.
- Investigators cite transport surveillance and cell-site analysis, reinforced by the victims’ photographs and witness statements, to link the cases.
- A black scooter with orange inserts and a green baseball cap seen on video became key identifiers, and police seized matching items and clothing from the suspect’s home.
- In one case a neighbor’s arrival interrupted the assault, while in the other the victim rebuffed an offer of money, took photos, and later made a photographic identification that preceded the arrest.
