The 25-year-old Montluçonnais had moved in a week earlier with his girlfriend, who has since left him after five months of relationship. On February 8, 2022, when her ex-girlfriend wanted to download a movie, she came across thousands of child pornography files on an external hard drive. The amazement passed, she alerted the police.
Downloads since January 2018
Tuesday, March 29, before the Montluçon Criminal Court, this man explained how he came to be in possession of 17,885 files, including 1,568 videos, featuring very young children. From babies to young teenagers. The first downloads date back to January 1, 2018.
Deep down I knew that these children were going through horrible things. I’m sorry for everything they’ve been through.
The accused

He says he got there through adult pornography, “out of curiosity”, in 2014:
Then I stopped everything, erased everything. I managed to part with it. And I started again.

Drift or authentically pedophile construction?
It must be said that he saw the first films for adults at the age of 11.
The psychiatric expert could not determine whether “a sexual and emotional immaturity led to this pedophile drift, or if he presents an authentic pedophile construction and expresses regret for manipulating his audience”, summarizes the president of the court.
The interested party, who does not wish to speak about a possible sexual excitement induced by these images, affirms it:
I am able to stop, to have a normal life. I see a psychologist.
–
Compulsory care in the sentence pronounced
The court found him guilty of possessing, consulting and importing child pornography. He released him for the offer and the provision. He sentenced him to two years in prison with probationary suspension of two years, including the obligation of care and to fix his residence.
He is prohibited from carrying out an activity related to minors for ten years, and will be registered in the Fijais (File of perpetrators of sexual offences). He had a clean criminal record.
