In a recent development in Padova, a 60-year-old man has been arrested on charges of sexual violence against his 12-year-old granddaughter and the possession of child pornography. The arrest followed a series of searches conducted by the police at the suspect's home and workplace, where numerous electronic devices containing a significant amount of child exploitation material were seized.
The investigation was initiated after authorities received a tip-off regarding the alleged sexual abuse. The Padova police's mobile squad executed the searches on April 24, uncovering the disturbing materials that led to the immediate arrest of the grandfather. The suspect is now held in the Due Palazzi prison in Padova, awaiting further judicial proceedings.
During the validation hearing of the arrest on April 28, the judge upheld the detention order, citing the substantial evidence gathered by the investigators. The case concerning the possession of child pornography has been forwarded to the Trento Tribunal due to jurisdictional considerations.
Authorities continue to analyze the seized electronic devices for any additional evidence relevant to the case. This incident has sparked a broader conversation on the mechanisms in place to protect minors from sexual violence and the proliferation of child exploitation materials online.
