Miriam Tomponzi to women "defend yourselves with a spray" Women, there is an extremely simple, effective way to avoid sexual assaults. Keep at hand, either in your bag or in the pocket of your jacket, an aerosol bomb of deodorant or insecticide . If sprinkled into the aggressor«s face, it will turn out to be more effective than many other futurist devices". On Miriam Tomponzi`s word of honor, private investigator and daughter of the legendary Tom, king of Italian-style Marlowes. "This remedy will prove as effective as many other advisable, but currently outlawed devices, such as paralysing sprays and irritant aerosol bombs, not available in Italy". To Miriam Tomponzi, the long series of abuse perpetrated this year along the Romagna coast is no surprise. "Such situations occur as well in other mass tourism resorts, like Cote d'Azur, Florida and the Californian coast. Places characterized by a busy nightlife or society life, often associated with the spreading of criminal groups and the presence of immigrants, are very likely to bring about such phenomena. In my opinion, symptoms that things were getting worse have been felt for a long time". "If, for example, you are in a dangerous situation, -the private investigator suggests- it is useful practice to turn on your cellular phone and pretend that you are speaking with somebody, hinting at a meeting with a friend in few minutes' time. The potential aggressor will fear he might be caught and will probably desist.
