(Breitbart) A 34-year-old Afghan migrant accused of sexually assaulting two underage girls at an Italian beach has been released by a judge just a day after his arrest.

The Afghan admitted to touching one of the girls while swimming but was able to convince the judge to release him from jail, despite calls by the prosecutor to keep the 34-year-old in pre-trial detention.
