Insulting towards the actress Annabelle Lengronne and another young woman, with whom he had nevertheless spent the evening in a bar in the Place de la Fontaine-Chaude, then in the apartment of a partygoer, the young man was summoned to appear before the Dax court, this Monday, February 21, 2022 in the afternoon.
The precise instruction made by Élisa Wegbecher, in charge of presiding over the hearing, gives the respondent the opportunity to repeatedly apologize to his victim. “I’m ashamed to have said that. I was not myself. »
Share the horror
Present at the hearing, the actress announced that she had filmed the verbal exchange with her smartphone. Then, she had published the last seconds on her Instagram account, even before her Parisian lawyer, Me Hosni Maati, lodges a complaint with the public prosecutor of Dax. This diffusion and its relay question the magistrates. “I wanted to show the face of racist aggression. I had a feeling of horror. I posted the video so that people believe me, so that people can see that it exists. »
The plaintiff, as well as the defendant, still have no explanation for the origin of this flood of insults. “He was the nicest of the evening, but his behavior changed when we told him we didn’t want to be accompanied,” says the first. The second, he admits to having been offended by the laughter of his interlocutors. “Two girls, in the middle of the night, it can be dangerous for them. I felt like they were laughing at me. I never voted. Politics don’t interest me. »
There is, also and above all, the alcoholism of the latter. “A bottle of rum, shooters in the bar and five to six glasses of rum in the apartment. »
“You say you are not racist, that you have a Muslim cousin. It reminds me of Desproges”
The judge was careful to transcribe the conversation in its entirety. “He was determined to make his valiant knight, ready to defend all the ladies. But we now have to understand how from a no, we arrived at these filthy remarks, ”suggests Me Maati.
Hatred of social media
The deputy prosecutor of the Dax court, Aude Le Hérissier, confides the same misunderstanding. “It’s not a word, but a succession of disjointed remarks. They are nauseous and have no consistency. »
In her indictment, she does not hesitate to mock the defendant. “You say you are not racist, that you have a Muslim cousin. Reminds me of Desproges. It doesn’t hold. The magistrate also launches the approach of the actress. “You have to keep in mind that it is not on Instagram that you do justice. »
This same reminder of one of the foundations of the French Republic serves as a pivot in Ms.e Katy Mira. While specifying from the outset “not to conceive or validate the words” of the young man, his lawyer notes that “incitement to racial hatred is absent from this file”.
She also expresses the devastation caused by the sharing of the video of “this isolated event”, which she asks the court to delete. “This hate called hate. This has to stop,” hopes M.e Katy Mira. The Mons lawyer has already had bailiffs note the “serious threats” made against a “young man in regret, shame and fear”.
