On May 18, 2022, Jonathan’s ex-sister-in-law reveals a heavy secret kept for more than 10 years to her big sister. “Between my 13 and 17 years old, your companion at the time abused me,” balances the now young woman to her older sister.
The companion in question is Jonathan, also a father of two little girls.
Directly questioned, the latter also confirm having suffered rape and attacks on sexual integrity for more than seven years.
“I sincerely regret”
At the same time, the mother of little Sonia (assumed name) receives a call from Jonathan’s ex-girlfriend telling her regarding his companion’s sexual deviance. A confrontation ensued. “The defendant was present at the time of the call and denied everything, even being confronted with the young girl. But the latter finally explained to her mother what she had been undergoing since she was five years old”, specifies Me Charles , ad hoc tutor. Against the wall, Jonathan admits having committed these acts and surrenders to the police.
This Wednesday morning, when discussing rape, attempted rape and attacks on sexual integrity, Jonathan is in confession of all the preventions. In tears, the latter said he sincerely regretted the acts committed and asked for forgiveness. “I ask forgiveness for having ruined the life of my children and those around me. The pain you inflict on me, I will take it as it is.”
Today, the young victims are destroyed. One of Jonathan’s daughters confirms from the height of her 12 years that she no longer wants to hear from or see her father.
Nuanced confessions
For substitute Vervaeren, Jonathan’s confessions are not as sincere as he would like to believe. In question, the role of “victim” that the defendant tries to assume. “He nevertheless declared that it was his victims who provoked him by walking around the house naked or by rubbing themselves on the armrest of the armchair”, launches the deputy prosecutor, a bit annoyed by the attitude of the warned that he considers to be “a danger to children.” A 14-year prison sentence is therefore required once morest Jonathan.
On the defense side, we insist on the real awareness brought regarding by the defendant. “He’s been in confession from the start and he’s the one who goes to the police. He knows he’s had pedophile deviance for years. There have been calls for help for years, though. in particular in 2017 when he confided to having erotic dreams with children and that he asked for his internment”, corrects Me Glorieux, to the defense. A probationary reprieve is proposed to treat Jonathan’s deviance, including chemical castration and psychiatric monitoring.
Judgment in two weeks.
