Vanessa Porrea, tronista of Men and Women persecuted for three years by a stalker
I FACTS
On the phone he threatened to disfigure him with acid. Then, from her words, she moved on to facts by throwing ammonia in his face. Thus, a man became a victim of stalking. It wasn’t a jealous ex-girlfriend who didn’t accept the end of their romance: her stalker was her older sister. To irremediably change the relationship between the two and ignite the “spark” of discord, a quarrel that took place in December 2015. The two brothers, who for a period of time had even shared the same apartment, never spoke again until when the old woman, who is now 89 years old, started calling him on his cell phone, threatening him with death. The rings on his brother’s cell phone came at all hours of the day and when he answered he was overwhelmed by the anger of her sister who yelled at her promising to make him pay and that sooner or later he would die. Threats that, as stated in the charge, “have caused a persistent state of anxiety and fear for their own safety and that of their families”.
THE ATTEMPT TO SCRAP IT
On 18 December 2018, however, Rosanna moves from words to deeds waiting for her brother in front of the house and throwing ammonia on his face. The man comes out unharmed, but a few days later his sister returns to the attack by going back to the apartment, damaging the door of the house with a hatchet and shouting: “Now I’ll throw the acid in your house and then you fire with petrol ». The same day the old woman left a letter in the mailbox but, this time, addressed to her nephew who had intervened several times to defend his father: “I have a lot of money and time to spend, but little time to live and I will use it all to massacre you », it was written.
An escalation of violence, that of the 89-year-old, which pushed his brother, terrified, to change his home and lifestyle. His decision, however, did not stop Rosanna who continued to call and threaten him until November 2016. It is following her last call, on November 18, that the man decided to report his sister. Rosanna, in fact, had returned to threaten her nephew too: “I’ll throw acid in your eyes.” Thus, the old woman is over a trial and she will have to defend herself from the accusation of persecutory acts.
ELDERLY ACCUSED
That of the 89-year-old is not the only case in which an elderly person is sitting in the dock. Crime, therefore, has no age and the crimes committed are always different: from quarrels between neighbors to addictions to love, even murder. On August 16, a 74-year-old pensioner attacked his neighbor in a building in Ferentino (in Ciociaria), just because he was Neapolitan. The annoyance felt for the man was so ingrained that any pretext was good to insult and threaten him. A murder, however, for which she was in Rebibbia prison (and then transferred to house arrest in a religious institution) Loretta, 84, former seamstress of Sofia Loren, Alberto Sordi and Marcello Mastroianni. The woman stabbed her husband on 10 August following an argument.
