Three years after the events, this 50-year-old man, suspected of being a pedophile, was summoned on Tuesday to the premises of the Paris minor protection brigade.
This Parisian graphic designer was placed in police custody on Monday January 22, for acts of corruption of a minor by electronic means.
He was brought before the prosecution a few hours later, who was to order a summons with admission of guilt.
It was on November 24, 2021 that the mother of a young girl, aged 10, pushed open the door of the Tourcoing police station (North).
She says that her daughter came into contact with an adult on social networks.
This man managed to obtain naked photos of her, and even made her perform sexual acts immortalized by the computer camera.
In exchange, the pervert sent her photos and videos of himself in scabrous positions.
Investigators from the Paris judicial police are responsible for leading the investigation, because the suspect's IP address refers to an apartment in the 11th arrondissement of the capital.
In June 2022, a first police operation was carried out at this illustrator.
The man, who works in the visual arts, is taken into police custody and his computer equipment is seized for exploitation.
The suspect is released while he conducts technical research on his computer media.
Children staged
The analyzes highlight the presence of 608 images and 164 child pornography videos featuring children aged 2 to 15 years old.
“These images are not virtual, they are real children who are raped for the pleasure of perverts who exchange these files,” notes a magistrate.
Summoned to the premises of the PJ at the Porte de Clichy (17th century), he made a full confession.
“The fifty-year-old recognizes the exchanges with the child whose age he knew perfectly well, such as the possession of numerous child pornography files,” specifies a source close to the case.
The rest of the procedure will certainly involve psychological monitoring.
The man was placed on the sex offender register.
