The young girl and the innocent, the story of a rape accusation that lasted almost twenty years

Tuesday, December 15, 1998, in a small town in the North, a policeman comes to the home of Julie D., a 15-year-old high school student. The investigator, seized by the public prosecutor of a case of sexual assault and gang rape, wants to hear the teenager. Her mother and a psychologist friend she confided in attend the interview. Julie D. tells.

“The first facts happened on a Saturday around 7:30 p.m., in March or April, it was dark. I came back from the cinema. I went to see the movie titanic. I went down the avenue and, at the crossroads, just before the bridge, I met three or four Arabs. Among them, a man named Farid, whom I knew by sight, because my friend Julien had problems with him. He is 17 or 18 years old, he is known for his bad reputation as a brawler. He said he didn’t like blondes and that he wanted to hit Julien because he was showing off with his scooter. He asked me for a cigarette, I told him I didn’t have any. Farid told me that I should follow them and shut up. The two behind Farid took me by the arm and led me into an alley. They laid me on the ground, one held my arms, the second held my legs and the third touched my chest, legs, stomach on my clothes. He did not touch my penis. I closed my eyes, I knew it was not worth resisting and they were too strong for me. It was only after they left that I realized my shirt was open, my T-shirt lifted and you could see my chest. This scene lasted ten minutes, I got dressed and, when I came back, I got yelled at by dad because it was late. My father and my family did not realize anything. It was unthinkable for me to tell them about it.

The second time was in July, during the last week, around 7:30 p.m. I was going to my aunt’s house. Passing a lighting store, I was called by Farid and another. Farid wanted to know where I was in class, who I was seeing. I answered him. We had a normal conversation between young people, but I felt uneasy, because I remembered the first episode. He asked me to follow him, telling me he had something important to tell me. Her boyfriend stayed with us. We went to the pool. There, suddenly, Farid took my right arm and the other Arab held my left arm. I was panicked, I dared not struggle. Arrived behind the pool, they pushed me to the ground, Farid lifted my dress and took off my panties. He started to caress my sex, introducing his finger, I was a little sore. A few minutes later, he got up, he lowered his dark jogging pants and his light-colored boxer shorts. He lay down on me. He introduced his penis into my vagina. I had a lot of pain, it was all of a sudden. I don’t know if he ejaculated, I had no sperm stains on me. This report was my first sexual experience, I was a virgin. Farid told me he would do it again if I stayed with Julien. They left, I lay on the ground for a while, got dressed and went home. I went up to my room and, as I am often there, my parents didn’t ask me any questions. »
