Rome Prosecutors Probe Reported Gang Rape Near Jonio Metro After CCTV Shows No Pursuers

Investigators are turning to DNA analysis plus cell‑tower records to identify three men the student says attacked her off camera near the station.

Overview

  • The Rome prosecutor’s office has opened a case for group sexual violence, with Carabinieri units leading the investigation in the Tufello area.
  • Station cameras confirm the victim passed through Jonio, but no suspects appear on video and the reported assault site has no surveillance coverage.
  • Investigators have secured the student’s clothing and hospital report to isolate biological traces for potential comparison with the national DNA database.
  • Checks include analysis of cell‑tower activity from the timeframe of the assault, and the student could be heard again to refine her account.
  • A motorist who assisted the 23‑year‑old has provided testimony, as local officials call for stronger night patrols and better monitoring around transit nodes.
