The police found the 23-year-old woman in distress and displaying many beatings, after being called by neighbors alerted by her cries, to Cinisello Balsamo, in the northern suburbs of Milan.
The owner of the apartment, Claudio R., tried to dismiss the agents by claiming that it was only a mere couple's argument. But as he already had a criminal record for sexual violence, he was arrested on the spot and the young woman was able to reveal his terrible story.
The model, whose police do not give the identity, had arrived in Milan in September to look for work in the capital of Italian fashion. She was contacted on Facebook by the rapist, who had posed as an agent with contacts in the fashion industry, reports Ansa. After a first appointment in a bar, she had agreed to follow him home. He then assaulted and raped her before shutting her up.
He had taken his mobile phone but forced him to call his parents every week to reassure them, reports the "Corriere della Sera". He beat and raped her for months until the police disembarked.
The rapist was released from prison in 2013 after a four-year sentence for committing exactly the same violence against an 18-year-old Belarusian model.
