The case began in June 2019: while the human resources director of an engineering consulting firm has just accepted a position in another group, an anonymous call and three emails announce her adulterous relationship with her boss, from 2017 to 2019, to her husband, whom she had already informed, and to those around her.
Between September and November 2019, nearly 2,000 people received emails, explains the plaintiff's lawyer, Vincent de La Morandière.
Photos of her naked, messages supposedly written by the couple's children, two girls aged 8 and 10, chronicling adultery, and others accusing the husband of having violent behavior with his children.
The emails were sent to old and new colleagues from the HRD, to parents of pupils from the children's school or to catechism.
The prosecution had requested in January thirty months suspended sentence against the defendant, who changed post after this case and who is today director general of a large engineering group.
