A 28-year-old man of Albanian descent has been sentenced to 6 years and 6 months in prison for aggravated sexual violence, bodily harm, threats, and the distribution of cocaine. The arrest of Rezart Gjinkokaj occurred in July of last year, following an incident in Toscolano Maderno, where the young man had met the victim with the intention of selling drugs. After getting her drunk at various venues, he forced her to endure abuse in his home.
The girl managed to escape thanks to the intervention of a motorist who took her to the hospital. The abbreviated trial resulted in a sentence lower than the 8 years requested by the prosecutor, but the details of the case have garnered significant attention from the local community.
