Human rights court says language used was unjustifiable and orders €12,000 payment to woman

The European court of human rights has condemned an Italian court after it referred to a woman’s red underwear and bisexuality as signs of her “ambivalent attitude towards sex” when acquitting six men accused of gang rape.

The case dates back to 2008, when the woman, a student aged 22 at the time, claimed she had been raped by seven men in Florence.
