La Russa Jr, a girl, and because we are all in danger

The investigations on the girl’s story, at the time of twenty -two years old, who accuses Leonardo Apache la Russason of the President of the Senate Ignazio, of having raped her, together with his friend Dj Tommaso Gilardoni, at the end of May 2023 The accusation of sexual violence must be stored, while the two must be pursued for the crime of Revenge Porn: La Russa would have sent a video of the sexual intercourse to Gilardoni, who in turn would have sent him to others via WhatsApp, without the girl’s consent, who in any case will oppose the storage proposal. That there was a video had not been immediately clear: it was discovered later.

In the request for storage, according to the ANSA reports, the prosecutors would have written – analyzed not only the state of alteration of the girl, who has always said that he did not remember anything of what happened in the bedroom of La Russa, but also the video – that: theassumption of drugs and alcoholic substances by the girl would not have “eliso her ability to express a valid consensus To the sexual acts carried out “, and” from the analysis of the films shot with cell phones there is rather the reasonable trace of the perception of a conscious participation by a girl who converses in a pertinent way with the suspects, moves in the room independently “and” actively “participates in the night. In short Filming return “the image of a young man in whom the ability to self -determined” was not excluded “. The analysis of the girl’s hair, we learn, who had denounced 40 days after the fact, did not trace traces of “rape drugs” referable to the offending date.
As a result, the prosecutors Rosaria Stagnaro and Letizia Mannella conclude, “The two suspects did not perceive, in explicit or implicit mode, the lack of a valid will of the girl in performing sexual acts”. This is the key phrase.

The interpretation of the video In summary he is saying: the girl was altered but not seriously, and in the video he seems to participate, so having not explicitly said “no”, nor having made him understand with the behavior, The two “reasonably” understood that it was a “yes”. They claim to have not drugged, while the girl said she took cocaine, cannabis, alcohol and psychotropic drugs.
The question is: are we still here? Didn’t we come to the conclusion that consent to sexual intercourse had to be explicit and not equivocable? Because we still speak of “implicit” consensus (through a casual attitude, clothing, a move), when not only the feminists have been written for some time that it is a patriarchal and indefensible cultural and social heritage, but but also the third criminal section of the Cassation in sentence no. 19599/2023 established that “there is no implicit consent”? Not only that: another sentence of the Court of Cassation in 2016 sanctioned that “for the purposes of consuming the crime of sexual violence The mere lack of consent is required, not the manifestation of dissent. And the mere consensus to the generic sexual act is not even sufficient, “consent must concern the specific person that that act performs”.

In essence, In crimes against sexual freedom, dissent is always presumedwithout prejudice to proof contrary. We ask ourselves: the test would be in the video? That video in which the same prosecutors say that the Russian and Gilardoni have a “profound superficiality and vulgarity in the way of conceiving and treating a girl”? Because let’s face it: as long as we are still here to base the definition of rape Not following the Istanbul Convention – only yes is yes – but on the basis of the “perception” of the accused and “interpretation” of the victim by the prosecutors, we are all in danger.
