Italy: Another Gang Rape Makes the Headlines

Hat tip Gates of Vienna and Remix (Hungary)

Last month, Italy’s prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, publicly complained that Italian courts were hindering the deportation of convicted foreign rapists-and gang rapists. Now, in the Italian town of Cesena (Emilia-Romagna), 7 young men are accused of gang raping a young woman at a party involving hashish and cocaine. All of the accused and the victim are reportedly born in Italy, but of foreign extraction. Most European countries do not have birthright citizenship laws, so it is unclear whether these accused, if convicted, are deportable.

The below article from Il Resto del Carlino is written by Annamaria Senni , dated April 15, 2026, and translated by Fousesquawk.

Cesena, April 15, 2026-Rape during a party in a countryside house in the Cesenate, at the beginning of April. One victim and 7 attackers, 7 boys, all between 19-25 years of age. A party where hashish and cocaine circulated, apparently in abundance. A night (that) culminated, according to the young woman, in a violent gang rape. As unfortunately has happened so many other times, the girl was reportedly induced to have sexual relations under the effect of narcotic substances, in a state of semi-consciousness.

The young men are charged with gang sexual violence against a 20-year-old. The girl’s nightmare began when she found herself alone at the party. With her were 7 young men, born in Cesena, but of African and Asian origin. In the house, with the hashish and cocaine, the party quickly degenerated. The victim, who knew the alleged perpetrators, said that the rapists reportedly took advantage of her altered state induced by the use of the substance. There were two episodes of violence on the same night: First on the part of one rapist, then by the gang. It appears that this party was organized at the house of one of the accused and the girl, born in Cesena, but also of foreign origin. After having suffered the violence, she went to the hospital in Cesena.

From there, the prosecutor of Forli launched an investigation. The 20-year-old showed injuries judged to be healable in 10 days and compatible with the facts reported. She told of having suffered violence on the part of the entire group, and that the boys reportedly used the phones to record some videos with sexually explicit content, depicting the girl during the abuse.

Those (images) recorded without any consent by the girl remained in the memories of the phones that were seized by the Carabinieri.

The investigation is ongoing, and the Carabinieri from the Cesena Company are being assisted by their colleagues from the Bologna Canine Unit. The Carabinieri have also arrested one of the 7 accused, a 23-year-old, for possession with intent to sell narcotics, violently resisting a public official, illegal possession of arms and ammunition.

In reviewing the videotaped images contained in the 15 seized cell phones, investigators are looking for other elements of proof to corroborate the sole testimony of the victim. It is not excluded that after the facts are gathered, there will be preventative (custody) measures for the other 6 accused.

The investigators reportedly have in their hands hours of recordings, video, which they say will shed light on that dramatic night. As for the 23-year-old arrested and implicated in the matter, he was found in his house in possession of 530 grams of hashish and 30 grams of cocaine. He attempted to dispose of some packages, likely containing narcotics, by throwing them in the river, but the Carabinieri stopped him. Now he is detained in the jail at Forli. As for the other 6 young men, the State prosecutor of Forli has ordered searches of their homes.
