The verdict was pronounced this Friday, June 23. In the case of rape and sexual assault on a minor under 15, the attacker was sentenced to 10 years in prison. A case judged 20 years following the fact. The victim took it twice to be heard by the courts.

It’s a 20-year-old pedophilia case that ends this Friday. She opposed Charlène, 29, to her ex-father-in-law at the Noumea court of first instance. The latter was sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment for rape and sexual assault on a minor under the age of 15.

For the victim, it is a relief, whereas the facts were committed at the beginning of 2000 in Portes de Fer and Magenta. With a particularity in this case: the victim had filed a first complaint in 2003 at just 9 years old, dismissed due to failure of the institution. During his indictment, the Advocate General will go as far as “apologize personally on behalf of the institution. The institution failed at the time”she will say. The institution gave up.

In 2015, Charlène issued a second complaint with numerous elements and better legal support. The trial was able to take place.

The second session of the assizes of the year continues. It ends on July 7.
