Man acquitted of rape after woman did not scream

Man acquitted of rape after woman did not scream

A judge in Turin, Italy has acquitted a man of sexual violence charges because the woman he allegedly attacked did not cry out during the alleged assault.

The decision has stoked so much controversy that the Italian minister of justice Andrea Orlando has asked officials to look into the case.

The judge's decision actually came down in February, however the reason was not released until this week.

According to the judge, the woman, who was a colleague of the alleged assailant, did not shout or become emotional enough to stop the assault as she simply said, "enough."

However the bizarre ruling doesn't end with the acquittal: Not only was the man found not guilty, but now the woman must answer to slander charges.
