“It is a particularly sordid file which has chilled the blood of all the professionals who have consulted it.
The words of the public prosecutor of Versailles evoke hundreds of "unbearable" images.
Child pornography pictures found on a pedophile's computer, featuring prepubescent minors, sometimes as young as 2 or 3 years old, in violent positions.
The Versailles court sentenced him this Friday evening to 6 years in prison with continued detention, as well as an obligation of care, and a definitive ban on working in contact with minors.
He is found guilty of having sexually assaulted three children, in the Yvelines in particular, of having corrupted others by asking them for sexual favors by interposed webcam.
The case begins on June 5, 2021, thanks to the courage of a 5-year-old girl who, with her parents, filed a complaint a few hours after being the victim of the predator.
That day, the thirty-something resident in Saint-Michel-sur-Orge (Essonne) had lunch with his wife at the parents of a colleague of hers, in Mézières-sur-Seine (Yvelines).
Another couple is present, with their little girl.
After the meal, the aggressor played for a long time in the garden “chasing cats” with her, according to her words.
He takes the opportunity to kiss the little one on the buttocks and on her sex.
A little later he finds himself alone with her in the living room, puts her in bed, lifts her dress, takes her picture, rubs and masturbates on her.
“I was attracted to the girl, I had an impulse”
His DNA is found in the victim's panties.
During the investigation, the justice debated at length on the qualification as attempted rape, but it was ultimately not retained.
“I was attracted to the young girl, I had an impulse and before taking action I said to myself stop,” he explains.
And the judge reminded him "you are talking about a young girl when it is a 5 year old child".
In the box under police escort, suit jacket on the shoulders, the respondent does not lead far.
He agrees to all the remarks made by the magistrates, lowers his head, speaks very softly, looks pitiful… But no sign of guilt.
"I want to apologize, I know what I did was extremely wrong and I shouldn't have done it," he finally blurted out when the judge pointed out his lack of empathy.

As soon as he is placed in police custody following this sexual assault, the predator recognizes other facts, gives the names of other victims.
A 12-year-old girl, still during a meal with friends, was attacked in her room on May 16, 2021 in Vigneux-sur-Seine (Essonne).
He touches her thigh, her ribs and kisses her before the child takes refuge with his mother.
He strikes up a relationship on the Internet with a 12-year-old girl
On the Internet, he also makes many victims, by establishing "relationships" of influence with young girls aged 9 to 17 on Skype.
By dint of manipulation and years of inappropriate exchanges, the investigators have put together a particularly heavy file.
The individual, who also has zoophilic photos on his computer, always asks them the same thing: to undress and perform sexual acts.
When they refuse, he blocks them.
He adapts his remarks according to the age of his interlocutor and tries to encourage them to take action with another child, or even their dog.
He even ends up going to the home of one of them, in Saint-Cyr-l'École.
At the time, he was in his twenties, she was 12. The older sister surprises them naked in the girl's bedroom.
Before leaving the premises, he will still get a blowjob.
"Finding myself alone with her in the room, that made me… I don't know how to put it," he describes succinctly.
A passage to the act that he describes as uncontrollable, in conditions that he himself caused.
Elements that have finished convincing the court.
"He knows perfectly well what to say and who to contact to get what he wants", concludes the public prosecutor who had requested 7 years of imprisonment.
