Seated. Rape: Metz confirms Nancy’s verdict

History repeated itself for Mfumu Kayala, tried for rape on September 28 and 29 in Metz. Sentenced to 12 years of criminal imprisonment in 2018 by the assizes of Meurthe-et-Moselle, the 25-year-old young man returned to Moselle to challenge the Nancy verdict. In Metz, the court read the same procedure and confirmed the first instance.

“There are some points of doubt in the file, but they have proved insufficient in the eyes of the jurors to be convinced of an acquittal”, indicates Me Étienne Mangeot, who pleaded for him. The jurors did not follow his line of defense in this case which began with a nightclub outing in April 2015. The accused accompanied a student to her home before forcing her to have sex. On the contrary, the accused claims that it was a tariff relationship. His version did not win the support of the court.
