by time news

A 70-year-old Loire resident, suspected of touching and raping his three granddaughters, is in police custody in Roanne (Loire), the prosecution said on Tuesday. This man, whose police custody has been extended, was arrested Monday at his home in the north of the department as part of a preliminary investigation for “rape of minors under 15 by ascendant”, said Abdelkrim Grini, the public prosecutor of Roanne.

“The examinations carried out show that the rapes mentioned by the three victims (now aged 7 to 16) produced medical and gynecological sequelae on one of them,” he explained.

Suspect denies rape charges

The facts, which cover a period from 2013 to 2022, were discovered during the attempted scarification this summer of the eldest of the three sisters, who confided in the staff of the hospital where she was being treated.

According to the investigation, these would have occurred at the home of the grandparents, when their three granddaughters were entrusted to them by their parents. If he admitted the existence of touching, the suspect however rejects the charges of rape.
