The mayor (PS) of Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis), Mathieu Hanotin, wrote a letter to the Keeper of the Seals, Eric Dupond-Moretti, in which he says he categorically opposes the move to his city of Patrick Trémeau, 57, nicknamed the “parking lot rapist”, and asks him to find an alternative solution.

The man, a repeat rapist, was convicted in 1987, then in 1998 and in 2005 for rapes committed mostly in parking lots, especially in Paris.
Last June, he was released from prison benefiting from reduced sentences provided for by law. Placed under an electronic bracelet, Patrick Trémeau sees his reintegration supervised by the penitentiary administration and the Arapej association (Association reflexion action prison and justice). This association offered housing to the man in Coulommiers, in Seine-et-Marne, but the installation could not be done due to an action by residents and the mayor who opposed his arrival.
Wipe your feet on Saint-Denis, imagining that we already had a lot of problems and that one more problem, we would not complain

Then another solution is found: the city of Saint-Denis.
Mayor Mathieu Hanotin takes offense in the columns of the Parisian for not having been made aware of this move-in project.
“This reintegration project was perhaps planned in Coulommiers but as we took an illegal action to prevent it on the spot, we decided to wipe our feet on Saint-Denis imagining that we already had many problems and that one more problem, one would not go to complain “he declares.
Should the law provide for an automatic and final life sentence?

“What the mayor of Saint-Denis is opposed to is a perfectly legal court decision,” said Patrick Trémeau’s lawyer, Henri Leclerc. “This decision, it was made after many months and this man has the right to reintegrate. Or should the law provide for an automatic and final life sentence?”
