It is a man with a “pornified brain”, whose pleasure came before the suffering of others, who was judged this Wednesday, November 6, 2024 by the criminal court of Versailles (Yvelines). Aged 33, he was sentenced to two years in prison, including twelve months with reinforced probationary stayfor importing, viewing and sharing child pornography files.
This resident of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine with a previously clean criminal record had precisely one 29 587 on his computer, seized by the police. He has been an active contributor to the sordid video exchange platforms of the Darkweb, the dark side of the Internet.
Son address IP was identified, among others, by specialized gendarmes and transmitted to the Versailles public prosecutor's office, which launched an investigation. Thus, during the year, this construction economist, employee of a family business, was placed in police custody.
He was buying content on the Darkweb
Examination of its digital material revealed unbearable scenes. “It’s about children performing fellatio or being penetrated. It is not because they are images on a screen that these acts do not exist,” the president of the court tried to make him aware. Most of this content, which he sometimes paid to obtain, appears to have been filmed in distant countries.
During his hearings, this rotund thirty-year-old admitted to having started to feed deviant fantasies at the age of 24, alone in his student room in Montpellier (Hérault). “At the time I frequented a forum where there was adult porn, then I gradually came to children,” he confided half-heartedly, pale as a sheet, at the court stand.
No empathy for children according to psychologist
The psychologist who examined him in police custody noted that he did not feel the slightest empathy for these minors, sometimes very young, raped to satisfy his more than unhealthy “curiosity” and that of tens of thousands of other pedophiles across the world.
The prosecutor's deputy, fearing to see him pass one day from real to virtualhad requested a twelve-month prison sentence to be served under an electronic bracelet, stressing that he was contributing in his own way to “international trafficking”.
Victim of incest as a child
In his defense, his lawyer worked to demonstrate how social isolation caused her client to sink into this dark addiction: “He doesn't leave the house, works from home and spends his time playing video games. He has no friends, has never had a girlfriend, or had a sexual relationship. »
Added to this is a personality built on a field of emotional ruin left by a childhood punctuated by incest. “He hates himself. He finds himself abominable. »
Followed by a psychologist since his arrest, he has now interdiction to be around minors for three years.
