Italian uproar over judge's 10-second groping rule
Young Italians object to the acquittal of a school caretaker who admitted groping a teenage student.
Hasnain says:
Mind you, in those 10 seconds the 66 year old man did stuff that is way way over the line (not mentioning it here). Wouldn’t surprise me if this judge has other suspect rulings / behavior.
“A Rome public prosecutor asked for a three-and-a-half year prison sentence but this week the caretaker was acquitted of sexual assault charges. According to the judges, what happened "does not constitute a crime" because it lasted less than 10 seconds.
Since the ruling, palpata breve - a brief groping - has become a trend on Instagram and TikTok in Italy, along with the 10secondi hashtag.”
