A 70-year-old man, living in a village in the district of Montluçon, was before the criminal court on Tuesday, June 1, for several sexual assaults on two minors … his grandchildren.
Several assaults between 2012 and 2014 …
It is at the end of an instruction of several years that the septuagenarian could be judged. But at the bar, the attitude of the accused questions the magistrates. “We have the feeling that since the start of the investigation, and even today, at one point you recognize and then backpedal … Why?”, Launches the president of the court. But once again, the defendant is wall in silence.

“What do you recognize today? », Insists the president. “I did something stupid”, is satisfied to say the septuagenarian. But as Me Sonia Pineau, lawyer for the Justice and Citizenship 03 association (designated administrator for children), will remind you, “what this grandfather is accused of is not stupidity, but serious sexual assaults on his children. grandchildren ”.
On her grandson and granddaughter, both aged 4 when the sexual abuse allegedly began in 2012 (the assaults reportedly took place between 2012 and 2014).
… while the grandfather looked after his grandchildren
But at the bar of the court, the defendant maintains: “I do not remember any more. During the investigation, however, he admitted to having “caressed” the sex of his granddaughter and “touched” that of his grandson on several occasions, while they slept with him.
Your grandson explains that, believing he was sleeping, you would have slipped your hand under his pajamas.

The septuagenarian shrugs his shoulders and says: “If he says I stroked him, it may be true.” I don’t want to contradict him. “

A firm sentence required
The public prosecutor remarked to the court: “We will push it to its limits and we are often faced with a wall. Silence is a way for him not to have to approach the unbearable. “The magistrate then evokes the behavior of” predator “of the accused and an” absence of real questioning “.
This speech is very disturbing. There was no change on his part. He remains in the same positions. The only change is not to hear today that it is well done for them and that they have been looking for it.

The public prosecutor thus requested three years’ imprisonment, two of which with a three-year probationary period, with compulsory care and prohibition to come into contact with the victims. The prosecution also requested that the firm part be carried out at home with electronic surveillance and registration in the automated judicial file of perpetrators of sexual or violent offenses (Fijais).

A predator ?
But for Me Bernard Southon, defense lawyer: “Things are actually less clear-cut”. “To make this file a predation file would be a mistake. He is neither a pervert nor a calculator, although he did not have the awareness that every adult should have. He is a man who has lost sight of the obligations he had as a grandfather. ”
The court finally decided to follow the requisitions, also adding the ban on going to the children’s home.
