Angers Pedophile Network
The Angers pedophile network case is a French criminal case in which sixty-two people were convicted of sexual abuse committed against forty-five children aged from a few months to 12 years old, between 1999 and 2002. Some of the accused are parents and grandparents of the victims identified. Investigation The case started when a complaint had been filed in November 2000 by a 16-year-old girl, who had spoken about multiple rapes committed between 1991 and 1993. The alleged perpetrator of the attacks had already been in prison, having been sentenced in 1996 to ten years of criminal imprisonment in another case. Investigators from the Angers juvenile brigade had also followed Éric Joubert, brother of the perpetrator, who had also been sentenced in 1997 to a two-year prison sentence and one year of probation. In February of 2002, one victim spoke of her ex-partner, who allegedly abused her 5-year-old daughter. On the sidelines of the investigation, Éric Joubert's associations have ...

Outreau Case
The Outreau case refers to a criminal case of pedophilia which took place between 1997 and 2000 in Outreau (a French commune) in northern France and a partial judicial error which led to provisional detentions between 2001 and 2004. Following alerts launched by social services within the Delay family, a long investigation seemed to reveal an extensive pedophile network: around forty adults had been accused and around fifty children were potentially victims. The trial took place in May–July 2004 before the Cour d'assises, a criminal trial court, of the commune Pas-de-Calais ( Saint-Omer) where 12 children were recognized victims of rape, sexual assault, corruption of minors and pimping. 10 of the 17 accused adults were sentenced to prison. The appeal trial at the Paris Court of Appeal took place in November 2005, where six of the ten accused were acquitted and four having not appealed. The case thus resulted in four final convictions of the two couples, as well as the acquittal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sex Scandals In France
Sex is the trait that determines whether a sexually reproducing animal or plant produces male or female gametes. Male plants and animals produce smaller mobile gametes (spermatozoa, sperm, pollen), while females produce larger ones (ova, often called egg cells). Organisms that produce both types of gametes are called hermaphrodites. During sexual reproduction, male and female gametes fuse to form zygotes, which develop into offspring that inherit traits from each parent. Males and females of a species may have physical similarities (sexual monomorphism) or differences (sexual dimorphism) that reflect various reproductive pressures on the respective sexes. Mate choice and sexual selection can accelerate the evolution of physical differences between the sexes. The terms ''male'' and ''female'' typically do not apply in sexually undifferentiated species in which the individuals are isomorphic (look the same) and the gametes are isogamous (indistinguishable in size and shape), ...

Day Care Sexual Abuse Allegations
A day is the time rotation period, period of a full Earth's rotation, rotation of the Earth with respect to the Sun. On average, this is 24 hours, 1440 minutes, or 86,400 seconds. In everyday life, the word "day" often refers to a solar time, solar day, which is the length between two solar noons or times the Sun reaches the highest point. The word "day" may also refer to ''daytime'', a time period when the location receives Daylight, direct and indirect sunlight. On Earth, as a location passes through its day, it experiences morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and night. The effect of a day is vital to many life processes, which is called the circadian rhythm. A collection of sequential days is organized into calendars as Calendar date, dates, almost always into weeks, months and years. Most calendars' arrangement of dates use either or both the Sun with its season, four seasons (solar calendar) or the Moon's lunar phase, phasing (lunar calendar). The start of a day is commonly ...

Trials In France
In law, a trial is a coming together of parties to a dispute, to present information (in the form of evidence) in a tribunal, a formal setting with the authority to adjudicate claims or disputes. One form of tribunal is a court. The tribunal, which may occur before a judge, jury, or other designated trier of fact, aims to achieve a resolution to their dispute. Types by finder of fact Where the trial is held before a group of members of the community, it is called a jury trial. Where the trial is held solely before a judge, it is called a bench trial. Hearings before administrative bodies may have many of the features of a trial before a court, but are typically not referred to as trials. An appeal (appellate proceeding) is also generally not deemed a trial, because such proceedings are usually restricted to a review of the evidence presented before the trial court, and do not permit the introduction of new evidence. Types by dispute Trials can also be divided by the type ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
