Viterbo: Network dismantled that lured minors to online games

The Carabinieri of the Provincial Commands of Viterbo, Ferrara, Naples and Turin are carrying out acustody order in prison against 4 individuals responsible for having lured a minor girl, just thirteen years old, through an online gaming platform. The investigations arose from the complaint from the mother who noticed that her daughter was having some very dirty chats with a much older boy. The investigations carried out by the Investigative Unit of the Carabinieri of Viterbo, under the direction of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Rome, have allowed us to outline a very serious and worrying situation.

The abuser approached the girl through an online gaming application (Roblox) and, once he gained her trust, slowly induced her to download additional dating and messaging apps such as Whatsapp, Telegram, as well as some encrypted chats. The situation took an even more serious turn when, further investigations carried out on the young woman's accounts and on her smartphone, allowed to discover that there was not a single tormentor. In fact, the young woman also had contact with three other men who, using the same methods, initially deceived her by pretending to be her peers and, subsequently, forced her to make child pornography photos and videos, also pushing her to show herself in sexual relations via video chat which, from a legal point of view, constitutes a real aggravated sexual assault.Viterbo: Smantellata rete che adescava minorenni su giochi on-line

The first contacts mostly occurred on the Roblox App or, in any case, on online gaming Apps commonly used by minors, thanks to which the suspects gained the girl's trust also by pretending to be minors themselves. After the initial contacts, the content of the messages changed towards sexual topics and the communication channel also changed, preferring online dating applications including Connected and Boo and recommending to keep the secret from one's parents. The girl was forced to have sexual intercourse via video chat, even at night, which ended only once the paraphilias of the adult on duty were satisfied, who, on some occasions, even went so far as to ask for the involvement of the girl's younger siblings.

The terrible situation in which she was involved caused the girl to fall into a deep state of prostration., whenever he tried to oppose the terrible demands, She was threatened by her torturers to divulge the scandalous material to her friends and to reveal her sexual behavior which, despite the coercion, she had been led to believe was the result of her will.
