The Rennes criminal court sentenced, Thursday November 7, 2024, to eighteen months in prisonwith warrant of committal, a fifty-year-old from Brielles (Ille-et-Vilaine) for a sexual assault that he had subjected to a resident of the Janzé retirement home.

The fifty-year-old nevertheless appeared free before the judges, this Thursday, November 7, 2024, to answer for these facts committed more precisely on the neighbor in his mother's room at the Janzé nursing home.

They occurred on August 24, 2024, his own birthday.

He pretends to be a doctor

Like every three weeks, the man visits his mother. This “cantankerous” woman with him, according to the caregivers, reproached this “nice son” for loving “older women” and was jealous of the relationships he was able to maintain with women.

The day before, a 95 year old woman had thus received a visit from a man who pretended to be a doctor and touched his chest.

The next day, while he was celebrating his birthday, this 55-year-old storekeeper returned to the neighbor's room to offer her a newspaper, but this woman who was hemiplegic since her stroke told him that: she couldn't turn the pages.

He kisses her on the mouth

He then offered to do it for her, but the nonagenarian refused. Then he had it kissed on the mouth and had touched her chest under her clothes by passing his hand under her blouse.

“I have never complained about my breasts, my hands hurt,” the old lady will be surprised, thinking of contacting a health professional. “It’s normal, it can go up to the chest,” the fake doctor will reply.

She had been afraid and had warned the nurses who had seen the man, but had let him go. Then the nonagenarian related the facts to her daughter a few days later.

She opened the doors of the Janzé gendarmerie on August 30. The gendarmes had come to the nursing home to hear the old lady, who cannot walk or set foot on the ground. They then noted that she had approximate notions of time, but they did not sense any incoherent remarks in her story.

“Those who know her say that apart from these notions of time, she is in her right mind,” immediately stated the president of the Rennes criminal court.

Firm prison and warrant of committal

“I am very afraid of seeing him again, very afraid of reprisals,” will also say the one who now asks that her room be locked at night and who was neither present nor represented at this Thursday’s hearing. November 7.

“This is the first time that she has revealed this type of facts, she has never accused anyone,” the president of the court also recalled.

The man has always disputed the facts. But within the establishment, “no one seems to know your record,” the magistrate pointed out.

However, the fifty-year-old from Brielles was convicted in 2001 for sexual assault and in 2005 for rape of a minor.

The defendant did not convince the public prosecutor, who requested one year in prison and another suspended probation.

His lawyer pleaded for the pure and simple release of his client, a man in a relationship “for eighteen years”. The court nevertheless found him guilty of the facts and even went beyond the prosecution's requisitions.

Indeed, the defendant was sentenced to eighteen months in prison with a committal warrant. Upon his release from prison, he will have to receive treatment as part of a probationary suspension for eighteen months. His lawyer has already announced that he will appeal the decision.
