Overview

In early July 2026, Italian courts began criminal trials concerning sexual exploitation offenses in the Lazio and Viterbo regions. By late July, authorities reported additional incidents, including a child sexual abuse complaint in Reggio Emilia and the arrest of a Romanian man accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a woman in Lucca.
