A 30-year-old Egyptian was sentenced to 18 months in prison for sexual assault on a FlixBus between Brussels and Paris. Prosecutor: “He took advantage of the victim’s vulnerability and acted as a predator” The defense's response? A strange pleading in which Me Saïda Dridi, the defendant's lawyer, insidiously attempts to blame the victim.

The woman managed to send text messages as cries for help to her boyfriend who gave her advice on how to get the unwanted traveler back.
