An 83-year-old evangelical pastor has been arrested by the Trento police. He is accused of sexual acts with a minor. He is now under house arrest. The man, who has since been relieved of his duties by his church, is said to have taken advantage of the little girl during the period in which she and her family, originally from Cameroon, were housed, since December 2022, in the community based in Trentino. The investigation began after a Caritas volunteer reported to social services that the little girl's father, during a conversation, had told him about the harassment. The investigators listened to the parents. The first suspicions dated back to the summer of 2023, but the father and mother did not speak about it for fear of the pastor. In the documents there is also an audio file in which the now former pastor admits to having assaulted the little girl, in addition to testimonies from members of the community.
