Is this the start of an embarrassing new affair for the prestigious Research and Intervention Brigade (BRI), already marred in 2014 by accusations of rape of a Canadian tourist against police officers from the Paris BRI?
According to our information, confirmed by the prosecutor of Versailles (Yvelines), a 33-year-old police officer assigned to the illustrious Yvelines unit this time, has been in police custody since Wednesday.
The measure follows a complaint filed overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday by a 20-year-old woman who accuses her of rape.
This Tuesday evening, after his service, the elite police officer and several of his colleagues will have dinner for some, have a drink for others in establishments near the Versailles police station.
During the evening, the policeman sympathizes with a young woman.
The evening passes and the two begin to flirt inside the establishment.
They get into his service car
After a few minutes, they leave the bar and go towards ... a submarine (an unmarked vehicle used by the police during hideouts) of the BRI which is used in this case as a service car for the police. At the front of the vehicle, the 30-something and the complainant continue to kiss. A version confirmed by the police officer during his first custody hearings.
It is after that the versions diverge.
According to the young woman's testimony, the police officer wanted to take her to the back of the vehicle to have sex.
What she would have refused.
According to his statements, the police officer then subjected him to digital penetration.
She could then have left the official's vehicle before going to the police station to file a complaint.
Nothing says at this point that she knew the profession of the man she accuses.
A confrontation could be organized this Thursday
Placed in custody, the police officer with irreproachable service records, for his part, claims to have actually flirted with the young woman. He confirmed that he then drove the complainant back into his service vehicle and kissed her on several occasions. He says, however, that things have not gone further. “There was something between them, it is indisputable and recognized by the two actors, underlines a source close to the file. But light must be shed on the circumstances of their meeting and on what really happened in that vehicle. "
The relatives of the young woman and the colleagues present during the evening should be questioned in the coming hours.
The complainant was examined by a doctor, and must be heard again quickly by investigators from the departmental security of Yvelines, which is in charge of the investigation.
According to a person close to the file, a confrontation between the complainant and the police officer could be organized this Thursday.
