Three women sentenced for kidnapping and torturing a teenage girl

Three women have been convicted of holding a teenage girl against her will and forcing her to have sex with multiple men.

On the night of this Friday, June 9, three women were found guilty of complicity in rape, violence and kidnapping of a 15-year-old girl. Danaé K., Wendy H. and Christel W., were sentenced to 6 years, 8 years and 9 years in prison by the Assize Court of Hauts-de-Seine, on the night of Friday to this Saturday. In 2014, they welcomed the victim, who was then on the run, in their apartment in Meudon (Hauts-de-Seine). After an argument about “boys stories“, they had restrained and threatened to beat the teenager to force her to have sex with men they had contacted. Two of these rapists were sentenced to 4 years and 6 years in prison for rape; a third was acquitted.

The three defendants were tried for forcible confinement “with torture or acts of barbarism“, pimping and complicity in rape. After 5 days of hearing, the Assize Court of Nanterre decided not to retain pimping and reclassified the facts as “torture or acts of barbarism” in “intentional violence in meetings and with weapons“. Wendy H., sentenced to 9 years in prison, was 21 at the time of the events. The Advocate General had requested 9 years in prison against her, presenting her as “the most violent“. She had also requested 9 years in prison against Christel W., whom she had described as “keeper of shame“. The latter, 43 years old at the time of the facts, indeed accommodated the three young girls.
