Photos of naked young girls, ambiguous messages sent to minors... When this woman discovers the contents of her husband's phone, this day in October 2023, she is stunned.
She did not wait long before reporting the facts to the police.
An investigation then began lasting several weeks for the police officers from the Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois police station (Essonne), until the suspect was arrested in mid-February and brought before the courts.
Last fall, the couple lived in Saint-Germain-lès-Arpajon.
They are in the process of divorce.
It's the partner's decision.
The husband is opposed to it.
A foreign national, he does not have a residence permit in France and is homeless, making his location complicated.
Alcohol and cocaine
The police will nevertheless find his trace on February 15, in Palaiseau.
The 39-year-old man is then placed in police custody.
Investigators will extract the documents from his phone.
