Napoli. The teacher from the Gian Battista Vico high school in Naples was framed by erotic emails and chats and was placed under house arrest yesterday on charges of sexual acts on a minor, the type of crime that the penal code reserves for those conducts in which, even if there is no material coercion, any consent given by the victim is considered null - due to the age and role played by the adult. One of his two minor victims reported him: the girl's statements were confirmed in the emails and chats she had exchanged with her teacher. The investigators are keeping the matter completely confidential, to protect both the victims and the family of the suspect, who is married with children. Very little information is therefore leaking out about what happened: it is known that the man no longer teaches at the old high school, following a transfer perhaps requested precisely to avoid further contact with the female students in his classes. According to the prosecution, his two victims were, at the time of the facts, under 16 years old. The investigation began immediately after the complaint filed by one of the two minors: statements that were confirmed by the investigations carried out by the judicial police, also analyzing the girl's telephone and computer devices (email and chat). Exchanges of messages of unequivocal content, which for the investigators would confirm the sexual acts that had taken place. The student, perhaps following a change of heart or an argument, then decided to reveal what had happened. It is not known exactly when the events date back, but they are said to be quite recent. The teacher defended himself by claiming that the messages had been sent from his computer on the day he had left the tablet unattended on the desk. This version is now being examined by the investigators who are also analyzing the two girls' mobile and electronic devices and interviewing the principal, former work colleagues of the teacher under house arrest and the girls' classmates. A very delicate investigation that is still in its early stages.
