Toulouse: the police trainer prosecuted for eighteen victims
The police trainer arrested in the act of sexual harassment in the street on Monday in Toulouse will be tried in May. His file grew.
The 53-year-old police officer arrested by his colleagues on Monday in the act of sexual harassment on the public highway in Toulouse (our edition yesterday) was presented to the prosecution this Wednesday morning after two nights spent in police custody, confirmed the Toulouse prosecutor’s office.
He received a summons by report for the month of May 2023. In this case, two files were joined for a total of eighteen designated victims. The first file concerns the young woman followed by car on Monday in the streets of Toulouse to whom he uttered obscenities and threatened to “rape” her.
Surprised and shocked by the behavior of this stranger, she had called on her companion. The stalker had been guided to a trap, in a parking lot on the Côte Pavée where the boyfriend was waiting for him. He managed to block it while waiting for the arrival of the police. The latter did not hesitate to challenge this man, one of their colleagues.
He was placed in police custody and questioned by the investigators of the competent persons unit for the departmental security before his transfer.
IGPN survey
But this official was already the subject of another investigation carried out in April and for which the Public Prosecutor’s Office had seized the services of the General Inspectorate of the National Police. At that time, nine student peacekeepers had pushed the door of the police station to denounce the actions of their trainer.
In the middle of class, he promised to give them “spankings”. One of the young women had suffered an inappropriate gesture. The man was also harassing one of his colleagues on the phone. The IGPN investigation made it possible to trace a total of seventeen victims in addition to that of Monday.
