Prato Volunteer Arrested for Alleged Sexual Abuse of Young Women

Prato: A man has been arrested in the Tuscan city of Prato for allegedly sexually abusing two young women, one of whom is a minor, while he was undertaking volunteer work, investigative sources said Tuesday, without identifying the suspect.

According to Ansa News Agency, the State Attorney’s office in Prato, led by Luca Tescaroli, requested the arrest warrant, presumably on the grounds that the man could flee or tamper with the evidence.

Prato prosecutors said in a statement that the man is accused of sexually abusing “two young women, including a minor, taking advantage of their condition of mental and physical inferiority.”

The probe was carried out by the Prato police flying squad and municipal police.
