A thirty-year-old father of two young children appeared before the Meaux criminal court for harassment. He hid a first camera in the bedroom and a second in the living room.

Not to mention that he broke into his wife's social media accounts. His lawyer, Caroline Desré, underlined this: “Psychological violence is sometimes even more terrible than physical violence.

The wife explained at the hearing that their relations were far from peaceful, despite the divorce that has since occurred and despite going before a family affairs judge, to determine custody of their two children, aged 3 and 6. She had discovered the pot of roses when she saw a small red light near the bedroom bookcase.
