The first man, who has held various positions in local football clubs, is suspected of sexual assault.

Born in 1981, he was identified as having shared child pornography, said the public prosecutor of Nancy, François Pérain, confirming information from

Placed in custody on Tuesday, he was then indicted for rape and sexual assault on a minor, as well as for importing and possessing images of a minor presenting a pornographic nature, in particular.

Unknown to the justice system until then, he was remanded in custody.

By exploiting his computer, the investigators found "

four videos taken in 2019-2020 showing that the detainee had sexually abused a minor

", the "

son of a friend, born in 2011

", explained the prosecutor.

"

To date, no information has been collected by investigators (...) to establish that the respondent had abused members of a football club

", he added.

For its part, the judicial police proceeded to the arrest, in Metz, of a recidivist of 46 years.

The man was detained until his trial for immediate appearance on October 26, Metz public prosecutor Christian Mercuri told AFP.

In total, around sixty people, suspected of having downloaded and viewed thousands of child pornography photos and videos, have been arrested since Monday throughout France, during a vast operation involving 220 police officers.

Among those arrested, aged 28 to 75 years and from around thirty departments, at least four were also implicated for acts of rape of a minor, after the exploitation of their computer equipment, had indicated Thursday to AFP Eric Bérot, head of the Central Office for the Suppression of Violence against Persons (OCRVP), which coordinated the operation.
