“Real orgy scenes”: two parents sentenced after terrifying testimonies from their children

The case is cold in the back. This Wednesday, December 21, the criminal court of Grenoble sentenced a woman and her ex-companion to 10 years of criminal imprisonment for rape of their children, complicity in rape, sexual assault and corruption of minors. According to our colleagues from France Blue, both were imprisoned and registered in the automated judicial file of perpetrators of sexual or violent offenses (Fijais). The complainants’ mother, a 14-year-old boy and his 11-year-old little sister, was also deprived of all parental authority over them.

The alert was given in 2018 by the oldest child. Then 10 years old, he had denounced the sexual assaults of which he was the victim, as well as his two little sisters, in their apartment in Bourgoin Jallieu, in Isère. Her mother and her companion have always denied the facts.

“Real orgy scenes in a very disadvantaged social environment”, describes a source close to the investigation

Subsequently, the investigation showed that the mother and her companion were not the only adults involved in this terrible family affair. A source close to the investigation describes “real orgy scenes in a very underprivileged social environment”, stressing that the three children went through a real trauma. Eight people, including their grandmother, aunt and uncle have been indicted and will be tried in corrections in March 2023. They are charged with aggravated sexual assault.

According to the association L’enfant bleu, a civil party in this case, the hearing, held behind closed doors to preserve the identity of the children, made it possible to recognize their status as victims. A status that will now allow them to move forward. “It is very important for their reconstruction“, certifies the lawyer for the Blue Child, Maitre Sidonie Leblanc. The young victims are now growing up in foster families.
