Three 13-year-old boys were arrested this Sunday in Blandan Park, in the 7th arrondissement of Lyon, when they had just attacked several athletes.
The police were called to the 17th and sent a foot patrol to the scene.
In the park, they observed a crowd in which there were adults and young people.
On seeing them, a young boy fled but three others were intercepted.
Witnesses said the suspects assaulted two women who were jogging.
Another jogger said that, following a similar modus operandi, she had been surrounded by the suspects, suffering touching and having her phone and headphones stolen.
The three young boys were placed in police custody where they partially admitted the facts.
A fourth defendant presented himself to the police on Monday.
All were presented to the children's judge on Tuesday and were placed under judicial supervision for "sexual assault and aggravated theft".
