This announcement follows the revelations of Mediapart, half an hour earlier.
In an article titled
"Big whore": the insult of a police officer about a complainant for sexual assault
, the investigative media reveals a recording in which we hear a police officer insulting on his answering machine a 34-year-old woman who had just filed a complaint for sexual assault, in a message left inadvertently.
“She refuses the confrontation in addition, the whore”
The message was left on the victim's answering machine on February 5 in the early afternoon – the official wanted the complainant to return to the police station.
It comes hours after the woman filed a complaint for an alleged sexual assault in Paris.
“Fuck, she refuses the confrontation and more, the whore.
As if by chance.
In fact, it was just to break his balls”, says this policeman from the 5th and 6th arrondissements of Paris, before concluding with a “Fuck, big whore”.
