Toulouse. A PJJ executive held pedophile images
The former number 2 of the Judicial Youth Protection in Montauban was sentenced to 10 months suspended prison sentence for possession of child pornography images.
For the image of the PJJ (Judicial Protection of Youth), this is not very bright but this case judged in correctional this January 5 in Toulouse shows all the seriousness of this institution when it comes to getting rid of its black sheep. The former deputy director of its Montauban branch, who has since been dismissed, was prosecuted for the possession of child pornography images.
At the helm, this fifty-something, slightly coated, does not display the contrite expression usual of most of the defendants having to answer for this kind of practices. Straight like i, combative, he questions point by point the elements of the investigation which brought him to justice. It is picked up on the fly by Nicole Bergougnan, the president of the tribunal: “You have the speech of a seasoned delinquent. Going back on statements made in police custody is typical. We will have to consider seeking treatment. When we have this kind of images and we follow the women in the street to photograph their posterior, there is a serious problem! “
“When I’m stressed I need porn”
On his work computer, when he was still a manager of the Lavaur juvenile penitentiary center, between 2012 and 2018, he had accumulated 12,338 daring images classified by “theme”: “buttocks”, “swimming pool”, etc. personal phone, nearly 700 photos of the buttocks or crotches of women crossed in the street, all taken between 2010 and 2012.
“When I’m stressed, I need porn,” he explained to investigators to justify himself. In the lot, three pictures relating to the offense, we could see in particular the head of a child next to the sex of a man and this same girl lying on an armchair with bare buttocks. The defendant denies having viewed this type of content. “I’ve never integrated child pornography photos, I don’t watch that kind of thing. It is presumably photos that were attached to other downloads or phishing. “Not enough to convince the public prosecutor:” The defendant knew that these clichés existed, even if later he was able to forget them. We cannot speak of pedophilia but the facts are incontestably established. It requires ten months of imprisonment with a probationary suspension of two years with an obligation of care. It is the sentence that the court pronounces without prohibition for him to exercise a profession in contact with minors.
