“I’m ashamed of what happened, I’m sorry”
“It was just a slap, she slipped and then she fell,” said the 30-year-old who appeared on Monday 1is August in the context of an immediate appearance, after four days of pre-trial detention.
The prosecution has a completely different idea of the situation, basing its reasoning on the testimony of the victim, whose recent injuries required stitches. She told the investigators of this time when she was grabbed, and this other time when she suffered violence in the middle of the street, months before.

Twelve months in prison with probation for two years
The quantum of the sentence ordered by the Thionville court was set at twelve months in prison with probationary suspension for two years. The perpetrator is prohibited from coming into contact with the one who has shared his life until then and from appearing at his home. He also has the obligation to take care of himself, and to follow a training course to raise awareness of domestic violence.
A hearing, scheduled for December, will have to fix the amount of damages that he will have to pay to the victim.
