Arrived at the Thionville courthouse under escort, the defendant suspected of domestic violence and kidnapping of his girlfriend left Metz prison the same evening. Above the head of the 23-year-old young man now hovers a ninth sentence: eight months in prison. It will be adaptable, because the respondent has served five months of pre-trial detention.
This is what its judges decided on Monday, March 14, when the prosecution had requested five years in prison, including two years suspended on probation. During the hearing, which the victim did not attend, President Rouvre recounted the daily life of spouses at the time, punctuated by insults, outbursts of jealousy and “days spent doing nothing” in family, in Hagondange, Hayange and Boulange.

Kidnapped and threatened with rape
Minor at the time of the facts, the young girl then only has eyes for her boyfriend. It’s about marriage. But also, according to her, reports the prosecutor, “punches, hair torn out, three abortions”, and especially “sequestration for three days at the home of her sister-in-law” in Hayange, where she would have been forced to getting naked, threatened with rape by someone close to her boyfriend.
Worried about not having heard from him, his mother then contacted the police. His daughter will reappear in a state of stress with a swollen face, noted by the police. The conclusions of the medical examination carried out several months later lead to the issuance of 10 days of total incapacity for work by the doctor of the medico-judicial unit.
A medical expertise was ordered to quantify the amount of damage suffered by the young woman. The decision will be made on May 9.
