“She was raped and even imprisoned in a psychiatric clinic”

THE Corinne Leris I can’t turn a blind eye for weeks. He has nightmares, wakes up at night, and has rashes all over his body. Next Wednesday, a French court will decide whether the tragic events with his daughter, who the media call her “Zili”, can be characterized as violation. A decision that will not only give Lerich and his family mental relief, but can also create ruin. “It is unbearable, for more than ten years this terrible event has been overshadowing our lives. I would like to scream, stop lying at last “ says Lerich.

“She was even raped while she was admitted to a psychiatric clinic”

It all started with him April 2008. Firefighters rushed the then 13-year-old from school to hospital after a seizure. But her rescuers quickly tortured her, according to the girl. One of the firefighters, Pierre S., took her phone and contacted her after the incident. Jilli says that created his psychological dependence and he also gave his phone number to his colleagues. Then Jillie fell into a social phobia, she didn’t want to leave her room. He suffered from severe depression. The doctors gave him strong antidepressants. In the next two years, he attempted suicide 16 times. Having no idea what’s wrong with the little one his parents called the fire department a total of 130 times. He had struck up an affair with the firefighters, which they took advantage of. She was systematically raped. Once, a firefighter took the girl home, where two of her companions were waiting for her. On another occasion, she was raped when she was locked up in a children’s psychiatric hospital.

“They saw that they were destroying it, and yet they continued.” her mother says angrily. In July 2010 the doctors stopped taking the psychotropic drugs, the girl returned and told her mother the facts. The family filed a lawsuit against 20 firefighters, all in their 20s, on one count of ongoing rape. A lawsuit was filed against three of them, but no one knows why. Firefighters claim that everything was done with the little boy’s consent. His attorneys declined to speak to DW.

In a sense, the French justice system has so far vindicated the firefighters. In July 2019, a court withdrew the case from the jurisdiction of the jury and referred it to criminal court. The rape charge was changed to sexual abuse. The maximum penalty of 20 years in prison was reduced to 7 years in prison. “Zili” and her mother filed an appeal and the decision will be issued by the Court of Appeals next Wednesday.

From what age is the rape of children evident?

“The mere fact that there is a debate about whether a child can have sex with an adult is part of the strange judicial system in France,” he said. Pascal kisses, lawyer and president of the CDP – Enfance Association for the Rights of the Child. the violence was used, taken by surprise, or threatenedOtherwise, it falls under the provisions on sexual abuse. “Such proof in the case of Zili is even more difficult to provide, because the little girl revealed what she suffered after two years.” The French lawyer also claims that the French judges generally don’t trust children, and this is a descendant of the oldest case of pedophilia in the city of Utro, where some adults were accused after false accusations of sexual coercion and later acquitted. As in other European countries, France should adopt a provision on a protective age limit, below which any sexual act with children should automatically be considered rape. “We want better protection for children with a system that is compatible with our own legal system,” a spokesman for the French Ministry of Justice told DW.

At the moment there are many legislative proposals for this age limit, the government supports 15 years, but with a minimum age gap. Why the relationship between a 14-year-old and an 18-year-old It cannot be automatically considered illegal, that is, when one of the two is of legal age, as decided by the Supreme Administrative Court. However, in the event that the court acquits the girl’s side, a judicial precedent will be created. Jilli’s age combined with the fact that she was particularly vulnerable It will suffice to characterize the actions of the firefighters as a violation. Something that would broaden the definition of what is child rape. “But if our appeal is rejected, our family will leave France.” says Lelis. “We cannot live in a country where justice tramples us and humiliates us.”
