Milan Judge Closes Sexual-Assault Inquiry Into La Russa Jr as Revenge-Porn Case Moves Forward

Prosecutors cite a lack of proof the suspects perceived no consent, with a preliminary hearing on alleged video dissemination set for November 13.

Overview

  • Judge Rossana Mongiardo accepted prosecutors Letizia Mannella and Rosaria Stagnaro’s request to archive the sexual-violence investigation.
  • Leonardo Apache La Russa and Tommaso Gilardoni still face a preliminary hearing on two counts of unlawful dissemination of sexually explicit material without the woman’s consent.
  • According to the case file, La Russa allegedly filmed an explicit video on May 19, 2023 and sent it to Gilardoni via WhatsApp, and Gilardoni allegedly forwarded a video to a third person in August.
  • Prosecutors wrote that the record does not prove the men recognized an absence of valid consent, a conclusion the complainant’s lawyer disputes based on medical findings and recovered clips.
  • The inquiry was built on Squadra mobile work that reconstructed the night from a Milan nightclub to La Russa’s residence.
