Man convicted of suicide-inducing abuse

(ANSA) - Turin, March 9 - The supreme Court of Cassation on Thursday rendered definitive a conviction for sexual abuse that led to a girl to commit suicide, 17 years after the abuse started. The top court dismissed the final appeal by the defendant, a Peruvian national, and upheld a sentence of three years, six months. The hearing was held in time to prevent the case timing out.
