A
28 year old 'Miss Italy' beauty queen, Gessica Notaro was rushed to the
hospital this week after her ex-lover Jorge Edson Tavares, 29, allegedly threw
acid on her face while she was at home in Rimini, Italy.
She
suffered deep burns on her legs, hips, face, and hands and will require
extensive plastic surgery according to the doctors in the hospital.
According
to media sources in Italy, police issued Tavares a harassment order last summer
after they broke up, but upon arrest by police, Tavares claimed he wasn't
responsible for the attack.
The
pair reportedly met in an aquarium in Rimini, Italy when she was working as a
dolphin trainer.
Speaking
to the Standard, Patrizia Mirigliani, a patron and organiser of the Miss Italy
contest, said:
‘There
can be no greater crime than defacing a person’s face in order to erase her
identity, her beauty, her smile. These are outrageous attacks which keep being
repeated.’
