” You are good ? », “It will be better when I have made love to you”, “Do you want to see my little pink piece? », hands on the buttocks, pinching of the nipples associated with a cult phrase of Unknown : “Says truck, squeak, squeak”… This is what Marine* suffered for four years, at every family meal, while being in a relationship with the defendant’s nephew.

“I have a memory, and these are things that I will not forget. It made the whole gallery laugh, but I don’t find it funny. And Mister doesn’t even understand the harm it can do » , laments Marine.
