Helped by three other people, the father of a 6-year-old girl beat up a 16-year-old young man suspected of sexually assaulting her. During the night from Thursday to Friday, the victim’s mother found herself face to face with a young man leaving her daughter’s room, located on the 1st floor of their house, who had just been sexually touched.
A 16-year-old teenager suspected of sexual assault against a six-year-old girl in Roanne (Loire) was indicted and imprisoned on Sunday evening, we learned Monday from the public prosecutor’s office in this city. “The teenager who was placed in pre-trial detention by decision of the judge of freedoms and detention (JLD), in accordance with the requisitions of the prosecution, was indicted for aggravated sexual assault on a minor under the age of 15, in the framework of the judicial investigation that has been opened,” Roanne public prosecutor Abdelkrim Grini told AFP, confirming information from the regional daily Le Progrès.
Monitoring in place
The girl’s father, helped by three other people (neighbors and friends) who had set up surveillance, arrested the alleged attacker on the night of Friday to Saturday when he was trying, according to them, to climb a fence of his property in Roanne shortly before 3am. During the night from Thursday to Friday, the victim’s mother found herself face to face with a young man leaving her daughter’s room, located on the 1st floor of their house, who had just been sexually touched.
“After showing the photo of the young man to the girl’s mother, who formally recognized him, they beat him up, causing him a total interruption of work (ITT) of 10 days, before calling the police”, lamented to AFP the public prosecutor of Roanne, Abdelkrim Grini. Treated at Roanne hospital, the teenager, an isolated minor who had been living for a fortnight in a specialized structure close to the house, was then placed in police custody and presented to an examining magistrate on Sunday. “He denies the facts of which he is accused”, indicates the prosecution.
