“When I was in the garden, he said to me, ‘You are sexy’. What do you want to answer to that? I said a little thank you”. At the bar this Friday, during a closed-door hearing, Virginie, digitally raped twice by Johann Vadin on August 23, 2020, in the early afternoon. This forty-year-old from Champigneulles saw the man, who had just complimented her, appear in her living room and abuse her. He fled through the garden, through which he had arrived, and this, not without then sexually assaulting another woman. Vadin was arrested five days later. His DNA, found everywhere in the apartment, especially on the flip-flop and the beers he had left there (!), had just matched with his genetic fingerprint contained in the FNAEG.
“People sense my fear…”
“I was not careful enough,” said the victim. “I should have closed the bay window”. Since then, Virginie, obviously, no longer lives. Her garden is bordered by wooden palisades, in the center of which she positions herself looking around. “I wonder if sometimes I’m not going to die on the spot, I’m so stressed. I now feel in danger everywhere. Even the people outside, when they see me, they feel my fear…”. From the box, Johann Vadin, tried since Thursday for rape and sexual assault by the Assizes of Nancy, apologizes flatly. Just as he does for Blandine, whom he put his hand on the buttocks during his escape, while he was in shorts, torso and barefoot. Again, this same sentence: “You are sexy, Madame! “.
“We were not going to call the gendarmes for a hand on the buttocks”
If he could, the accused, who claims to drink like a hole and be depressed since the death of his grandmother, four months before the facts, would whip his back with fresh nettles: “I wanted to apologize for my inappropriate gesture and my immature and stupid sentence, ”he says from the box.
“I was going to drink coffee at my sister’s when I felt someone put their hand on my buttocks. I looked at the man, his face was bloody (Editor’s note: Virginie had just scratched him to push him away). I was very afraid. When I arrived at my sister’s, she told me to contact the gendarmerie. I told her that we were not going to call the gendarmes for a hand on the buttocks, she insisted…”.
Verdict on Monday.
