Even if the former host has acknowledged the facts, he seems to deny the sexual nature of his actions. According to him, he would have caressed the little ones because he would have a “fetishism” on tights. For psychiatric experts, who have actually detected this fixation, the man would have a “sex with a pedophile inclination with social danger.”
This Thursday, June 29, the decision fell: the defendant was sentenced to five years in prison, with a probationary period of two years. The sentence is accompanied by obligations of care, work, and compensation for the victims.
