The attack took place on the night of August 12 to 13, at the exit of a nightclub in La Roche-sur-Yon. This Wednesday, August 30, a 21-year-old man in an irregular situation was imprisoned.
On the night of August 12 to 13, a young woman was raped in the middle of the street at the exit of the Castel club nightclub, in a business area of La Roche-sur-Yon. As part of this investigation, a man was placed in pre-trial detention this Wednesday, August 30, confirms a judicial source at Le Figaro.
After the victim filed a complaint, a judicial investigation had been opened against X. The police investigators of La Roche-sur-Yon then quickly traced the trail of a suspect. The man was arrested in a hairdressing salon in the town on Monday August 28. The young man, aged 21, of Algerian nationality and in an irregular situation, was placed in police custody, confirms to Le Figaro a judicial source. He began by denying the charges against him.
Three different versions
But this Wednesday, August 30, before the investigating judge, the suspect changed his version and recognized “a consensual sexual relationship” with the victim. “Monsieur has an ambivalent position on the facts. This is the third version, we cannot say that he really recognizes”, confided the deputy prosecutor, Alice Leduc, to Ouest France.
The prosecution therefore requested his placement in pre-trial detention “due to his irregular situation on the territory, the penalty of criminal imprisonment incurred and his position in relation to the facts.”
False papers
The suspect admitted “circulating with false papers,” under two identities known to the police. His lawyer, Meriem Abkoui, made it clear that his client’s record “is blank for both identities”. In defense of this, she explains that her client “is very religious and was afraid that his brother would judge him for this relationship outside marriage”.
The indicted explained, before the examining magistrate, to be “out of the nightclub with the victim” and that they were “both alcoholic.” His lawyer asked that the man be placed under judicial control at his brother’s home, while the investigation is ongoing. A request refused by the magistrate.
“There are enough elements to consider that you are involved in the facts of which you are accused,” declared the magistrate. She also invoked the risk of “renewal of the facts given the operating mode used” and the disturbances to public order generated by the facts. The man was imprisoned in the La Roche-sur-Yon remand center.
