Sentenced to 8 years in prison for the rape of a young man at Rouen
Crime. A man has been sentenced by the criminal court of Seine-Maritime for having raped a young man in an apartment in Rouen.
At the beginning of the week, a man of Afghan origin was sentenced by the criminal court of Seine-Maritime to 8 years in prison for having raped a young man, aged 19 at the time of the (crime), in June 2019 at Rouen. The court also pronounced a definitive ban from French territory against him. The (prosecutor) had requested 12 years imprisonment with sex crime registration.
He denies the facts
The complainant had passed the accused on the street when (accused) invited him to his home for a drink. The (accused) had then locked him against his will for several hours before raping him in his room. From the window of the room where he was being held, the victim cried for help. The man finally freed him. The perpetrator of the crime denied the acts during two days of hearings that were conducted behind closed doors. He claimed that the sexual contact was consensual.
"This act has had important psychological consequences for my client," the civil lawyer (for the victim) Clemence Rousselet soberly commented.
