Franck Lavier, acquitted on appeal in 2005 in the famous case of pedophilia in Outreau, will be referred to the assizes. This 43-year-old father is suspected of rape and sexual assault by descent on one of his daughters, reports The Parisian.
The facts would have happened between 2014 and 2016 in Boulogne-sur-Mer. On May 31, 2016, Cassandra, then aged 16, confided in the CPE of her high school before confirming her statements to the police with a complaint. An investigation was then opened.
Previous conviction for “habitual violence” against children
And the judges estimated Wednesday that there was enough elements in the file to send Franck Lavier to the assizes of Pas-de-Calais. According to them, the investigation “made it possible to bring together sufficient charges against Franck Lavier for having committed acts of touching of a sexual nature as well as sexual penetration, which appear to have been voluntarily imposed on a teenage girl who, because of of her age and the relationship of authority between her and her own father, could not react and therefore validly consent to them “, quotes The Parisian.
The father, he denies the facts since the denunciation of his daughter. He has eight days to appeal this decision.
In February 2012, Franck and his wife were also sentenced to 10 and 8 months suspended sentence for “usual violence” on two of their five children, including their daughter Cassandra, then aged 11, who is at the origin of this new accusation.
