Italian police on Friday
seized a group home in the Vercelli province in the northern
region of Piedmont after a gang rape was reported.
Five of the employees, between the ages of 28 and 52, have
been banned from exercising any professional activities in
contact with minors.
They are accused of knowing of the psychological and sexual
violence committed against two female teenagers staying at the
home but choosing to ignore it.
Those committing the violence were also staying at the home.
The two female victims, one 15 and one 16, have been
transferred. The 16-year-old girl had written in her diary about
asking one of the female coordinators for help but said that she
had been ignored.
A video was found by the police that had been shot by one of
the minors committing the crimes.
