First from the Danube region, four repeat offenders, aged 22 to 31, were presented on Friday evening before the Paris criminal court. They are suspected of having, in the 19th district of the capital, forced two young women, including a 17-year-old child, to become prostitutes. At the request of some defendants, the case was adjourned until October 3, 2024 and sixteen have been jailed.
Sequestered in an Airbnb apartment
It was 11:30 p.m. on August 19 on Jean Jaurès street. Police went to a home after receiving a call from a woman who reported a scary situation. This witness explained that he saw the kidnapping and detention of a 17-year-old girl who was accused of prostitution in a house.
When the police arrived at the scene, a man escaped from the first floor window. A lost attempt, he was caught at the foot of the house. A second suspect was arrested at the scene. And the third was surprised when he arrived at the residence. A fourth accomplice will be brought a little later. The police questioned the girl and another old prostitute, both from Normandy. They are talking about kidnapping and violence to force them to obey.
Heavy locks for pimps
The four youths were taken into police custody. Their criminal records are extensive. Between three and nine convictions for drug trafficking or use, violence, or death threats. The elder is the father, the others are all alone. One of them wants to learn to cook, the second works part-time for RATP, the third benefits from the disabled elderly allowance, follows mental problems and the last one is unemployed.
Three of them completely denied any day. They make sure they meet up with friends at this Airbnb accommodation. “I have nothing to do with this story,” said one of them. In front of the police, the last one confessed with the conspiracy. Their lawyers argued in favor of their release, emphasizing the life plans of their clients. Me Yves Levano opposed the actions of the prosecutors, which gave him a file of a thousand pages in the afternoon and unsuccessfully requested the opening of the judicial investigation.
