INFO THE DISPATCH. Near Toulouse, a father suspected of having raped his daughter’s best friend
The gendarmes of the Toulouse Saint-Michel company arrested a man suspected of having raped a 20-year-old woman, on the sidelines of festivities organized in Verfeil, a town located northeast of Toulouse.
A man was charged with rape on Tuesday. The facts were committed, this Saturday, January 14, in the parking lot of a town located northeast of Toulouse. The victim, a 20-year-old woman, is devastated.
The case starts this Saturday evening, when the victim and his best friend occur at a birthday party organized at the village hall of Verfeil. During the evening, most diners don’t skimp on the drink. The discussions multiply, the insinuations too. The stepfather of the best friend of the victim would have taken advantage of this gathering to try his luck with the victim.
This forty-year-old man allegedly offered to accompany him outside the building, before asking him for a sexual favor. She would have refused his advances, but, according to her, he would have raped her. A few minutes later, still in shock, the victim found his friends to tell them about his ordeal. Her relatives accompanied her to the CHU Rangueil for her to be examined. Then she filed a complaint.
The father takes justice
Informed by his daughter, the victim’s father flew into a rage. And he immediately set off in pursuit of the attacker, whom he has known for a long time. This Sunday, the two men found themselves in the parking lot of the Verfeil brigade. But the words were quickly replaced by blows.
Visibly badly damaged, the respondent was still taken into custody by the gendarmes. During his interview, he admitted having had an intimate relationship with the conversation, but according to his version, the act was consensual. Since Saturday evening, around twenty people present at this anniversary party have been questioned by the investigators. This work has made it possible to draw a scenario that is not very favorable to the forties. Already known to justice, he was indicted before being released under judicial supervision.
Investigations are now led by an investigating judge.
