Four young women filed a complaint for “sexual assault” during a police check carried out in Nantes on March 14 after a filtering operation against the pension reform, we learned this Monday from the public prosecutor. .
On Wednesday evening, four young women “aged 18 to 20” “came to the police station to file a complaint to denounce acts of sexual assault they allegedly suffered during a check carried out by the police in Nantes, and I immediately entrusted the file to the IGPN (General Inspectorate of the National Police)”, explained Renaud Gaudeul, public prosecutor of Nantes.
The police check took place along the Erdre, “while they were returning from what is called a filtering operation” as part of the protest movement against the pension reform, continued the prosecutor.
The IGPN entered
“What was carried out by the police services was a security pat-down operation during a police check”, but “these four young women indicate that in reality, at least one police officer, would have committed sexual assaults and not a security pat-down, ”detailed Renaud Gaudeul.
The lawyer for one of the complainants told our colleagues to France 3 that the policewoman had “put her (gloved) hand in the young woman’s underwear” three times. The same treatment would have been inflicted on the other three complainants.
The IGPN was seized Thursday morning “on the count of sexual assault by a person abusing the authority conferred by his function” and the four “complaints themselves were collected on Friday morning”, also specified the prosecutor.
