A couple of parents accused of child crime in Valais

The affair is surprising in Valais. A couple living in a mountain town in Lower Valais was taken into custody at the end of last year. According to information disclosed by “Le Nouvelliste” on Wednesday, the two parents are accused of “child pornography, incest, sexual acts with minors and violation of the duty of assistance towards a child”.

The victims are believed to be the couple’s four children, aged 12 and under. The Valais public prosecutor confirms daily that an investigation has been opened and that they benefit from the presumption of innocence. The couple were reportedly spotted by the police following problematic posts on the darknet. Our colleagues specify that the two accused, aged around thirty, come from well-known families in the region.
