An Italian high court has dismissed the sentence in a case of pedophilia on the grounds that there was romance involved between the 60 year-old social services worker and the 11 year-old girl in his care.
Pietro Lamberti, who works for the social services department of Catanzaro in Calabria in the south, was found in bed with the girl, described as disadvantaged in the press, by local police who raided his house in June 2011. The Court of Cassation overturned a five-year sentence for a conviction of sexual violence against a minor.
Italys age of consent is 14 and rises to 16 when the older party is judged to be in a position of authority over the child.
The court ruled to overturn the sentence upon hearing claims that the girl was in love with the man and pursued him. The case must now return to the local court in Cantazaro for retrial. Police said they had gathered evidence from hundreds of wiretaps of telephone conversations.
The court heard that Lamberti had tried to dissuade the girl and refrain from consummating the relationship for fear of impregnating her. He reportedly told her, This is a secret that we have to bring up to grave.
And we thought things were bad here.....
A government protecting a government worker? Say it isn’t so!
Excuse me while I go vomit.
Don’t forget Swedish courts who just gave an 8 year old child to a convicted pedophile and child pornographer.
I have to join wastedyears and go puke now.
Coming soon to the USA.
And we thought things were bad here.....
And two days ago J. Matt Barber wrote an article where he said under Obama one of Americas chief exports was immorality, I disagreed then and this is one of the reasons why. While there are dark days right now in America, we are still a shining light of virtue compared to Europe and other countries.
this is simply disgusting
these judges need to be removed from the bench and flogged
The idiotic Italian courts are the same ones who have been tormented Amanda Knox for years. Persecute the innocent and excuse the guilty. Vile & disgusting.
Prepare for the following:
“It’s about love! How can you judge their love, you evil hater bigot?!”
I guess that those of us who find this to e vile shall soon be labeled as “paedophobes” or some other bally silly name.
You can bet it’ll be something “The kids have a right to love too” of course these are impressionable and coerced children
NAMBLA is sharpening it’s teeth as we read this...
Is his name Muhammad?
I have an 11 yo granddaughter
and I would find “romance” in putting a bullet between the eyes of any b that touched her...
Ex liberal girl friend looked at me like I was absolutely nuts and an idiot neanderthal for mentioning that stuff like this would become more frequent and normalized as a result of the acceptance of the gay movement.
They are. It won’t be long before that kind of perversion becomes “the civil rights cause of our time.”
Yep
