Her name is Lilia Levasseur. In November 2021, this architect from the Crozon peninsula is about to open her own practice. Coming to Brittany to breathe new life into her career, it was on a beach that she met Nicolas, a graphic designer and also new to the region, explains The Parisian. If their relationship is initially friendly, it will quickly transform into real horror movie for Lilia.
Time passes and the exchanges between the architect and the graphic designer intensify at his own initiative. Lilia notices that Nicolas's behavior is becoming more and more strange. Is it his instinct that will tell him what to do or common sense? No one knows. In any case, she will decide to move away and to cut ties. A decision that Nicolas will not accept. The man will then fall into a frightening spiral.
She gets into a relationship and has to face limitless relentlessness
In 2022, Lilia becomes a couple with her current partner. “It unleashed his fury“, she explained to the newspaper. Nicolas, who designed the website of the young architect's company, then crossed a new threshold. He had started to set up false professional appointments for her, he will start attacking his online reputation. All platforms where it is possible to leave a review are there.
The graphic designer will even go even further and usurp Lilia's identity. He will attack the young woman's former employers, but also her partner. When she becomes pregnant and Nicolas finds out,
events are gaining momentum. He goes to her house at night, “throws paint” on the facade of his house, hacks his mailbox. To make matters worse, he allows himself to create a site about Lilia's pregnancy.
A long hospitalization that will change everything
Around ten complaints were filed with the Crozon gendarmerie, but Lilia was not taken seriously. The young woman is alone and must face new attacks from the graphic designer. The man contacted a large number of funeral directors, who sent their quotes to the young woman. He will even have funeral wreaths sent to him.
While she is pregnant, Lilia has to be hospitalized for three months. She will take advantage of her isolation to carry out her own investigation into Nicolas. And she discovers something that sends shivers down her spine. This is not the man's first attempt. In eastern France, other women filed complaints against him. His career is also not exempt from the excesses of man and his lies. According to former classmates of Nicolas that the young architect was able to contact, he was already in a logic of imposture at the time of his studies.
Finally, someone listens
In November 2023, Lilia files yet another complaint, but this time, things are different. The gendarme sees it clearly:
the young woman is at the bottom of the hole, she can't take it anymore. But nothing stops Nicolas, who continues his harassment and ensures that he carefully destroys every part of Lilia's life. The man will be arrested in January 2024 and placed in pre-trial detention while he undergoes psychiatric analysis. “It decompensates on a mode close to erotomaniac delirium and experiences an almost delirious enamoredness towards this woman whose responses and silence he is hurt by“, wrote a psychiatrist about Nicolas.
On March 1, he was sentenced to six months in prison.
A sentence which will be adjusted to benefit from home detention with wearing an electronic bracelet. The man must stay with his parents, in the Vosges. Two months later, on May 1, Nicolas started again with his funeral strategy. His parents reported his disappearance, he who had left on the road to Santiago de Compostela.
If the man did indeed pass through Spain, he was found in an Airbnb in Brest. He will appear immediately on June 25 and will be sentenced to 16 months in prison. A sentence for which he appealed and is now awaiting the result.
