A 15-year-old homosexual teenager was kidnapped and then beaten for more than an hour and a half on April 4 in Grenoble. Five individuals were arrested on Wednesday.
Four of the suspects were released under judicial supervision this Friday, according to our colleagues. The fifth individual was presented to a magistrate for summons by report. The young man's ordeal lasted more than a half, after being kidnapped on a public highway, in the town of Isère, when several individuals arrived to kidnap him. After being humiliated by homophobic insults, then beaten with an iron bar, his attackers took his phone, then extracted pornographic videos to distribute them on social networks. An investigation was opened by the judicial police shortly after the incident. One of them would be one of the victim's cousins, “hostile” to her sexual orientation, Le Figaro learned from a police source, confirming information from Valeurs Actuelles. The investigation culminated in an operation on Wednesday, where five minors were identified and arrested.
