The investigating judge of the juvenile court of Naples Umberto Lucarelli accepted the requests of the prosecutor's office (prosecutor Claudia De Luca) and ordered immediate trial for the 7 minors involved in the rapes that occurred in Caivano, in the province of Naples, on the two cousins aged 10 and 12 years.
The boys (two are in the community and the others are in prison) are accused of aggravated abuse and, for some, also in collaboration with one of the two adults involved in the same facts, of having produced child pornography videos of the abuse.
The hearing has been set for March 28th.
Within 15 days, the defendants' lawyers can request that the trial be carried out with the abbreviated procedure, a request which in any case must pass the judge's scrutiny.
The decision comes after the evidentiary incidents on the two young victims which took place, in a protected environment, about a month ago, on January 19th and 22nd.
