Then comes the investigation triggered by the prosecution
eighteen years old and details emerge of what happened in the Terrace of feeling of the entrepreneur where the guests used to be 30 or 40. Rumor had it that Genovese put “things in the glasses” of the girls, to stun them immediately. And again: It is said that he and his ex-girlfriend used to drug the girls at their private parties and then rape them are the phrases that came out of the stories to the police. Several testimonies collected by girls who participated in the parties that testify to consensual drug use first and forced abuse until total unconsciousness later.
