Italy’s highest court reversed a decision that said a woman could not have been sexually assaulted because she was too «masculine» to be attacked.
The appearance of a sexual assault survivor is «wholly irrelevant» and a «non-decisive» element of sexual misconduct trials, the Supreme Court of Cassation, ruled Tuesday.
A Peruvian woman, whose name has not been released to the press, originally accused two Peruvian men of attacking and sexually assaulting her in 2015. The men were convicted in 2016, after doctors found her injuries were consistent with rape and her blood showed levels of benzodiazepines, a tranquilizer, the Washington Post reported.
