The atmosphere is heavy in the courtroom of the court of Senlis (Oise) this Monday when the president begins the statement of facts.
In the box of the defendants, Dylan C., who was sentenced to 2 years in prison, including six months suspended for acts of domestic violence, tries to justify himself.
"She confessed to me that she had cheated on me during my first incarceration between October 2020 and July 2021, I did not know how to control myself", explains the young man, 24 years old.
At the end of the hearing, he was taken into custody.

"She has been living in hell for five years"
It is 4 pm last Saturday when Marie's boss (the
first name has been changed
) decides to alert the gendarmerie. It has been several hours since he has heard from the young woman who was absent for her lunch break. That afternoon, she and Dylan had made a date and the reunion quickly turned into a confrontation. Since leaving prison, the couple have decided to separate and "make their own life, each on their own". But this "toxic relationship never really ended", breaths the defendant. That day, Marie had just told him about her infidelities during her detention. And the young man sees red. “I twisted, it was passionate, and I wanted to keep it to myself,” he testifies. I have no excuse… ”
When the young woman returns to her workplace, a police car is waiting for her.
At first, Marie refuses to denounce her ex.
But once arrived at the brigade, the young victim surrenders.
"Eleven pages of hearing is extremely rare," scolds the prosecutor at the hearing.
She has been living in hell for five years, mute, for fear of reprisals.

Confidence, the victim tells investigators how she came to think about suicide so that her ordeal ends. "I was afraid of his fits of jealousy, of his gaze which immediately changed under the influence of anger," she explained to the gendarmes. I knew then that if he asked for my phone to verify that I wasn't talking to anyone, I had to give it to him. "In the box, Dylan's tone is more trembling:" I know I'm not a man. I would never have imagined that for us… ”
“We are faced with extremely serious facts, insists the prosecutor. We gave this individual enough chances to prove to us that he was not dangerous. For Dylan, it is therefore a return to prison. "You put a rope around my neck in deciding this, Madam President," said the defendant in tears. I don't want to go back there. "
