A policeman suspended from duty is on trial in Rome for child pornography. He had been arrested in 2019 on charges of posting on social media some daring photos of a girl who was 15 years old at the time. During the February 5 hearing, however, there was a real twist: the girl who is now of age and a civil party in the trial told the judge that she was engaged to the defendant and that they currently live together. According to the reconstructions of some newspapers, the two met on a dating site. He then began taking her to swingers clubs and showing her off, even taking photos of her performances. The pictures were then shared on some Whatsapp groups, until her father discovered the facts. At that point the complaint started, while the girl had moved to Germany, to her mother. However, the girl had confided to her father that she was in love with the policeman. The two had therefore not stopped hearing from each other, and as soon as she returned to Rome, dating resumed. The trial is continuing because child pornography is a crime for which prosecutions can be brought ex officio. "When she came back from Germany in December, my daughter came here to the house to get her clothes without telling me where she was going. I thought she was going to her friend's house, but in the end I think she was teasing me. Now I don't understand it anymore," the father says. Instead, the girl would say that she was kicked out of the house by her father. More importantly, that before the trial she will withdraw the civil suit.
