Ionel Robert Ștefan, former mayor of Ștefăneștii de Jos, was sentenced to nine years in prison for the continuous rape of a 13-year-old girl. The case involves multiple individuals accused of trafficking and sexually exploiting the victim. The ruling by the Bucharest Tribunal is not final and can be appealed. Other defendants received sentences ranging from seven to 18 years. The victim was reportedly recruited using the 'Loverboy' method and faced threats to prevent her from speaking out. The former mayor had been detained since 2021, with the case being taken over by DIICOT.
