Justice. Accused of sexual assault in a video, the mayor of Thionville retaliates

The accusations were abundant but the verifications of the investigators, they did not lead to the beginning of the beginning of an implication of anyone. This is in substance the content of the insights provided this Tuesday by the prosecutor of Thionville, Brice Partouche.

A year after the revelations of a minor accusing her own father of sexual assault as well as a number of notables from Thionville including the mayor, the boss of the prosecution specifies that he himself made the decision, at the beginning of last month, to close this file without further action.

“I launched all the investigations, because the accusations of this young girl and her mother were all taken very seriously. Everything has been verified as far as possible and nothing has ever supported their statements. Hearings have been conducted but none establishes facts committed by the dad, the mayor or others. Initially, the accusations were aimed only at the father, moreover. It was much later that “notables” were questioned during the hearings. “
