A Tirana court has sentenced two men to 10 years in prison each for raping a 15-year old in August 2019.
The prosecution demanded 15 years in prison for Florian Picalli and Risild Sina, but due to an accelerated trial, the sentence was lowered to 10 years.
Although Picalli and Sina claimed they didn’t know the victim was a minor and that she consented, the 15-year old said that the men pressured her into sex by threatening to leak intimate pictures.
The same manner of coercion was used in the sexual assault of another minor in Tirana, a 19-year old woman in Kelcyra, and a 13-year old in Kavaja.
