Overview
- A 23-year-old student told doctors and Carabinieri she was held by two men while a third assaulted her shortly after midnight near the Jonio B1 stop, with the hospital alert logged around 3 a.m.
- Carabinieri, under the Rome prosecutor’s coordination, opened a case for group sexual violence as the three alleged attackers remain at large.
- Video from Jonio station confirms the victim’s passage but shows no suspects following her, pushing investigators to canvass nearby streets where surveillance coverage has gaps.
- Investigators have seized clothing and medical records to isolate DNA for comparison with national databases and are evaluating cell-site data, with the victim likely to be interviewed again after initially saying she could not recognize the assailants.
- A motorist who encountered the distressed student drove her to Pertini hospital, and city officials called for stronger night patrols and modern surveillance tools in high-risk areas.
