Prosecutors in Trento have requested the indictment of a 40-year-old priest and religion teacher at a Catholic school in the northern province for the alleged aggravated sexual assault of an 11-year-old pupil, local newspapers Corriere del Trentino, l’Adige, and the T reported on Thursday.

    The alleged abuse date backs to the autumn of 2023 and the priest was transferred from the school after having taught there for about a decade, according to the reports.

    The alleged victim was reportedly questioned in the presence of a judge and the account convinced investigators to seek the indictment of the man, who denies all charges
