Pd lawmakers protest Macerata acquittal in sexual assault case

Pd lawmakers are outraged by a Macerata court's acquittal of a young man in a sexual assault case. The judge cited the victim's prior sexual experience as a factor. The ruling involved a 2019 incident where a 25-year-old man and a 17-year-old foreign student were in a car. The court reportedly stated the victim, not being a virgin, should have anticipated the situation's developments. The lawmakers are calling for a consent law, referencing the Istanbul Convention, and urging parliamentary support for legislation that respects women's autonomy and freedom.
