While commenting on the gang-rape of a woman, TV presenter Andrea Giambruno, said women could avoid sexual assaults if they ''do not get too drunk''.
The partner of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has sparked outrage with his controversial comments on rape. While commenting on the gang-rape of a young woman, TV presenter Andrea Giambruno, said women could avoid sexual assaults if they ''do not get too drunk'', the Guardian reported.
''If you go dancing you are fully entitled to get drunk ... but if you avoid getting drunk and losing consciousness, perhaps you'd also avoid getting into trouble because then you'll find the wolf,'' Andrea Giambruno said on his show on channel Rete 4 while discussing recent gang-rapes in the country.
During the show, he also agreed with the editor of the rightwing Libero newspaper, Pietro Senaldi, who said, “If you want to avoid rape, above all don't lose consciousness, keep your wits about you.”
