Italian authorities have launched investigations into separate incidents of sexual misconduct in Tuscany and Brescia. In Brescia, the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office is examining allegations that an 18-year-old woman was subjected to sexual violence and harassment by her brother and cousin over several years. This investigation was prompted by a psychologist's report following the victim's request for psychological assistance.

In Tuscany, the Arezzo Prosecutor's Office investigated an incident occurring on April 23 aboard a regional train traveling between Arezzo and San Giovanni Valdarno. A 19-year-old man was arrested for allegedly kissing a sleeping passenger on the lips without her consent. The suspect faces charges of sexual violence under Article 609-bis of the Italian penal code, and the case is currently awaiting judicial proceedings.
