The 18-year-old man, indicted last Saturday for the brutal rape of a young woman in Cherbourg (Manche), is the subject of another ongoing investigation for an alleged sexual assault on his sister . In addition, the prosecutor’s office indicated that he had already been the subject of five convictions pronounced by a juvenile court.
The suspect was indicted in early August in Cherbourg for the “rape accompanied by torture or acts of barbarism” of a young woman who had been hospitalized in serious condition and whose “vital prognosis was engaged”, announced Saturday the public prosecutor’s office in Coutances (Manche). The victim told investigators that he had been attacked by a man “she had already seen but did not know”.

During his police custody, the man had ended up “laconically recognizing the facts likely to be attributed to him”, according to the Cherbourg prosecution, which transmitted the procedure to the Coutances prosecution. “It appears from the criminal record of the person concerned that he was sentenced five times by the juvenile judge and the juvenile court for acts of damage to property and violence”, specified the prosecution of Coutances in a press release released Monday evening.
“A sexual assault procedure against his sister is under investigation, without it being possible at this stage to determine whether or not these facts have been established”, adds Dorothée Thoumyre, deputy public prosecutor of the Republic of Coutances.
“In addition, a procedure for the rape of a minor initiated in 2019 was dismissed by the prosecution in 2020, on the grounds that the offense was not sufficiently characterized”, she specifies.
