The incident occurred around 5 a.m. Sunday.
While sleeping at home in Revel, the victim was suddenly awakened by the presence of a stranger in her room.
The man, whose face is concealed by a plastic bag, slips into her bed and rubs against her.
Paralyzed by anguish, the young woman manages despite everything to keep her calm.
She even begins the dialogue with her attacker.
A tactic that allows him to discreetly warn the gendarmes.
