US EditionMeredith Kercher's killer faces new trial over sexual assault allegations
VITERBO, ITALY, JUL 11 – Rudy Guede faces charges of sexual assault, mistreatment, and stalking from his 2023 ex-girlfriend's accusations, with over 100,000 pieces of evidence set for trial review.
- Rudy Guede, convicted in 2007 for the brutal murder of Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy, is facing new charges related to sexual assault and violence.
- The new legal case arose after a 25-year-old woman from Viterbo, Guede's former girlfriend, filed a police report in summer 2023 alleging mistreatment, personal injury, and sexual violence.
- Since last year, Guede has been placed under heightened supervision, prohibited from contacting the woman—including through social media—and required to wear an electronic monitoring device on his ankle while the investigation continued.
- Carlo Mezzetti, Guede's attorney, asserted his client’s innocence and expressed concern that the prior conviction might affect the fairness of the hearing set for November 4 in Viterbo.
- This new trial highlights ongoing legal challenges for Guede, who served about 13 years of a 30-year sentence before early 2021 release for good behavior.
