" Nightmare ".
There is no other word to describe this extraordinary case, which begins as a sickening news item and ends in a gigantic legal fiasco.
In the Outreau affair (Pas-de-Calais), a sordid story of pedophilia which has haunted the collective memory for more than twenty years, nothing is bearable.
At the end of a long investigation and three assize trials, twelve children were recognized as victims of sexual abuse, four adults were convicted and thirteen others were acquitted.
Despite the complexity of the case, the excellent documentary series “Outreau: a French nightmare” put online on Netflix this Friday March 15 allows you to immerse yourself in the judicial machine and dissect what remains a trauma for everyone.
