Ermias and friends told Sky News an Italian man had sexually abused them after buying them drinks and offering them shelter. "He find us in a place like this [park) and he invite us to a bar and he let us drink beer and then he take us to his home and there he give us beer," he said. "We start drinking and then he start touching us on our body. After we leave the house, he calls us and he gives us money." Smoek-of-pedophilia-so what are the Italian authorities doing about this?
