On the night of December 16 to 17, the Grenoble mutual clinic took care of a 13-year-old girl.
Of Romanian nationality, she explained that she had escaped from the home of her future husband's parents. The latter, who is none other than her 23-year-old cousin, had raped her several times.
The teenager, from the community of travelers, had been kidnapped by her three cousins, who went to look for her in the Paris region to take her by force to Grenoble.
The police quickly arrested the alleged rapist, his brothers, his parents, as well as the victim's father.
Failing to recognize the facts, they admitted that a forced marriage had been concluded between the two families.
As part of the investigation into rape of a minor under 15 years old by an adult with an age difference of at least 5 years and arrest, kidnapping, kidnapping or arbitrary detention of a minor under 5 years old to facilitate a crime or a crime, the rapist cousin was indicted and imprisoned.
The victim's father was placed under judicial supervision, while the prosecution called for his incarceration.
As for the parents of the main suspect, they are only assisted witnesses in this case.
For these last two decisions, the Grenoble public prosecutor's office decided to appeal.
The teenager was sheltered by child welfare.
