Overview
- The assault occurred on the night of October 25 in the Tor Tre Teste park, where a young woman was raped after attackers surrounded a car and restrained her partner.
- Investigators detained three men in November, with two arrests in Rome and another reported in northern Italy, and the victims identified the suspects in custody.
- Forensic tests recovered DNA from at least one other man, and the victims initially reported up to five assailants, prompting an ongoing search for additional perpetrators.
- Authorities are also treating the case as a robbery because personal items were taken during the attack.
- Officials disclosed the case nearly a month later on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, triggering calls for tougher measures including proposals such as chemical castration and expanded surveillance.
