Overview
- Carabinieri, coordinated by the juvenile prosecutor, identified two boys and one girl aged 14–16, with at least one reported to be a classmate of the victim.
- Investigators seized the suspects’ phones to search for photos or videos of the night, as the boy’s mother reports a clip of a sexual assault circulating among youths.
- The minors are under investigation for kidnapping and coercion, and prosecutors have not ruled out escalating to sexual-violence counts pending forensic results.
- According to the complaint, the 15-year-old was lured to an apartment, confined, had his hair and eyebrows shaved, was forced into the Dora river, and was left at Porta Nuova at dawn.
- Prosecutors plan to hear the victim and the three suspects with psychological support, and local reporting links the trio to a youth group previously known for vandalism in the southern Turin area.
