Prosecutors Seek Five-Month Prison Term for Marco Borsato in Indecency Case Involving 15-Year-Old

Prosecutors say a recorded conversation with the girl's mother supports their case.

Overview

  • The demand follows allegations that he repeatedly groped the girl between September 2014 and January 2015.
  • The prosecution requested acquittal on the count alleging he made the girl touch him.
  • The lead prosecutor cited a taped call in which Borsato sounded more like confessing than denying.
  • Prosecutors argued that a permissive sexual culture in the household offered no justification for contact with a minor.
  • They rejected suggestions of a conspiracy by the girl's mother to damage the singer.
