Rabat - A Moroccan immigrant in Italy is reportedly facing jail for pedophilia, after he allegedly cheek kissed a 7-year-old girl on her face.
In Morocco, cheek kissing a child may be an act to show kindness. But, the same act can lead you to prison, in Italy.
The police of Treviso, Northern Italy said officers have detained a 50-yearo-old Moroccan immigrant on suspicion of sexually abusing minor children, after he cheek kissed a 7-year-old girl, Hespress’ correspondent in Italy reported.
According to the same source, the Moroccan immigrant was arrested after the child’s parents filled a law suit against him, stressing that he attempted to rape their daughter.
The parents said that their daughter was riding her bicycle near their house, when the Moroccan immigrant, who lives in the same neighborhood, kissed her on her cheek, although the girl did not allow him to.
This is not the first time a Moroccan immigrant faces pedophilia charges for kissing children. Last year, another Moroccan immigrant was detained for attempting to rape a child, after he allegedly cheek kissed an infant.
