The case had greatly shaken social networks: the young Lilou, 16, had disappeared on October 23, while she was on an internship in a leather goods store in Talange. The young girl had been requisitioned by her boss to go to a dry cleaner in Longeville-les-Metz, not far from the Saint-Symphorien stadium. She had warned her mother by SMS, then radio silence. His mother, without news, had launched a call for witnesses on the networks while the police took the matter seriously.
According to initial testimonies, the young girl had been seen with a man “who was twice her age, tattooed on the neck, with long, curly hair”, who was traveling “in a gray and black Clio”. Lilou was finally found six days later, on October 29, at Grenoble station, more than 550 km from Metz.
Disoriented, the young girl told the police “that she had been forced to prostitute herself for the benefit of this man who took her from Metz to Grenoble,” Grenoble public prosecutor Eric Vaillant said in a press release on Saturday. . “She was notably able to indicate that he collected money from clients, provided clothes and apartments, managed his ad on the site “sexemodele”,” he added. “Several clients were interviewed and will be subject to criminal proceedings.”
The pimp was indicted for aggravated pimping, kidnapping of a minor, pimping, use of prostitution of a minor and was placed in pre-trial detention.
