Italian Franca Viola was just 15 when she became engaged to 23-year-old Filippo Melodia

Italian Franca Viola was just 15 when she became engaged to 23-year-old Filippo Melodia. However, Melodia's involvement in criminal activities led to Viola breaking off the relationship.



After Melodia's release from prison, he sought to reconcile with Viola, who had already entered into a relationship with another man. Enraged by her refusal to take him back, Melodia orchestrated Viola's kidnapping in the early hours of December 26, 1965. She was held against her will for eight days and subjected to sexual assault by Melodia during this time.

During this period in Italy, rape was considered a crime against public morality( and not against the individual), and it was customary for rapists to marry their victims. Many rape victims succumbed to this tradition due to societal pressure, as it was considered dishonorable for a woman not to marry the man who took her virginity. Furthermore, rapists were forgiven if they married their victims.

Melodia expected Viola to yield to this pressure, but she vehemently refused to marry him.

As a result, Melodia was found guilty and sentenced to ten years in prison. Viola's resilience sparked a revolution that ultimately led to the abolition of the law allowing rapists to be forgiven through marriage.

Rampaging naked Florida woman, 53, destroys an Outback Steakhouse and hurls bottles at cops before being tasered

Photos captured the moment a naked woman destroyed a bar in Florida before police came in and shot her with a stun gun before taking her into custody. Tina Kindred, 53, was acting 'out of control,' according to reports from the local sheriff's office, which led to a response from the Ocala Police Department on Monday. Kindred can be seen standing naked on top of the bar. Kindred appears to be at an Outback Steakhouse location, though she also had an incident at Mojo Grill the same day, police say. In a video of the incident, she begins trashing the bar, pulling each bottle down one by one and smashing them on the ground. When police respond, Kindred threw bottles at police officers. Kindred emerges out of the bar and begins to approach an officer.  When she gets too close, the officer deploys a taser, knocking Kindred to the ground as the cop yells at her to get on her stomach as he threatens to use it again.   Another angle shows Kindred throwing bottles before she ...

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
