The investigation continues while the suspect sleeps behind bars. A volunteer at the Neuville-sur-Saône football club has been charged with rape of a vulnerable person and corruption of a minor over the age of 15, according to a BFM report confirmed to Le Figaro by several sources close to the case. It was the director of the home where the 16-year-old boy lives who alerted his family after he confided in an educator on November 21.
The young man's interview with the minors' brigade of the Lyon gendarmerie and then that of his mother with the Fontaine-sur-Saône brigade led to the filing of a complaint. The Public Prosecutor's Office opened a judicial investigation on 25 November, with the defendant remanded in custody. He is also suspected of capturing child pornography images of minors for the purpose of disseminating child pornography and possession of child pornography images.
