deux adolescentes agressées sexuellement au milieu de la foule
Seated behind their lawyer, Me Vinciguerra, Marie and Laura (1) are holding hands. Civil parties, they are accompanied by their parents. Tuesday evening, they wanted to “celebrate the summer and their next 16 years”. With a cousin and a friend, they were allowed to go out. They were having fun, dancing, singing, when everything changed. A stranger approached the group, stuck behind Laura and started rubbing against her. A friend of the girl saw him and pushed him away. A few minutes later, during a pogo, the teenager felt someone dig their fingers into her private parts, over her shorts. Laura screamed and pulled away. At the same time, Marie was subjected to similar touching.
The two teenagers ran to designated CRS not far from there. They provided a detailed portrait of the suspect: short, thin, dark-haired, with acne scars on his face and wearing a sailor top. Transmitted over the airwaves of the police and public transport security services, the report led to the arrest of M’Barek Gueceb, Porte de Bourgogne, where he was about to take the tram.
Jail closed
In police custody as before his judges, this Algerian in an irregular situation on the territory, who arrived in Bordeaux recently, says he is innocent. His versions have evolved over the hearings and the elements presented by the investigators. First, he claimed not to have set foot on the Place de la Bourse. Confronted with a video showing him in the middle of the dancers, next to the young girls who formally recognized him, he ended up admitting “a few round trips in the crowd”. “DNA research was carried out on the shorts of one of the teenagers and the DNA of my client was not found”, insists his lawyer, Me Comarmond, who pleaded for release.
“You have so much evidence that you will be on the way to conviction”, thinks the prosecutor on the contrary. “This man is a sexual aggressor who chose his prey, turned around them, attempted a first assault, retreated in the face of the intervention of a relative of the victims before returning to the charge and succeeding,” said the magistrate. which requires three years firm. “We are in a society where, unfortunately, these facts are commonplace. It is not normal for young girls to build themselves up in fear of being attacked by people who allow themselves to use the body of others to assume their impulses, “insisted the lawyer for the civil parties, calling on the court “to reverse the charge of fear”.
M’Barek Gueceb was sentenced to eighteen months in prison, eight of which were suspended, a ban on territory for five years and kept in detention.
