A head doctor at the San Matteo Polyclinic in Pavia is under investigation on suspicion of the crime of sexual violence aggravated by abuse of authority. He is accused by eleven postgraduates from the course he taught during the 2019-2020 academic year.
The head doctor defends himself, maintaining that the accusations made against him by the eleven interns are unfounded. The prosecutor's office will have to decide whether to request the dismissal or the indictment of the head physician. It is not excluded that his lawyers decide to ask for the doctor's interrogation so that he can clarify his position. Or that they decide to produce a defense statement. According to the defenders, it is not likely that the alleged sexual harassment occurred in front of at least 20 people normally present at the lessons. The University did not recognize the grounds for initiating disciplinary action. But he still decided to send the entire report on the facts to theProsecutor's office. A disciplinary proceeding initiated by the University (at the time of the events the head doctor was director of the specialty school) ended with its dismissal.
