At the helm of the Beauvais court this Friday, January 24, Guillaume Rose, 21, does not seem impressed. He took out his most beautiful shirt and speaks in a supported French. He believes he is doing well by multiplying the “Your HonorFor the president of the court, as in an American series. And above all, he denies everything as a whole with a rare plumb for defendants of his age. He was criticized for him, on the night of December 31, 2023 on January 1, 2024 for having sexually assaulted two children then aged 3 and 6. And to have exhibited at the same time.
That evening, his mother, several of her friends and their children are at home to pass Christmas Eve together. The evening is advancing, the party is in full swing for adults and Guillaume Rose decides to go to bed. The rooms being shared with the guests to avoid them to take over the wheel, he goes to that of his mother where a mattress on the ground is normally reserved for him. There he discovers that two children sleep in the famous mattress. It would go back down for the first time to find out where to sleep. His mother giving him his bed, he goes up. And this is where children testify to touching.
Children have trauma
“”Children don’t really blame him but show signs of traumaReveals President Sylvain Bottineau. Especially the 3 -year -old girl including “The behavior changed following this date». The psychologist expert who took care of them concludes that this change can come from sexual assault. “”I am amazed, I have done absolutely nothing“Retorts Guillaume Rose. Not enough to convince the judges.
The president continues to read the hearing of the two children in front of the investigators. The little girl manages to express that Guillaume Rose lowered her panties before touching “The nenette and the buttocks». His brother, a little older but suffering from an autistic spectrum disorder, had to express what he feels but manages to verbalize the same scene as described by his sister.
The defendant does not bother. He did nothing. Someone had to get the children against him. For what reason? He doesn’t know. As could have such a complex lie and for so long in front of investigators at their age? He does not know either, but he is innocent.
For the expert, assault is possible
President Sylvain Bottineau comes to the psychological expertise of Guillaume Rose. This reveals a difficult childhood, both in education and for social interactions. A internment, several fugues … non -existent sentimental relationships except the strong bond that units it to his mother. For the expert, in the case of his “emotional immaturity“,”There may be regression and acting with children». It is something possible.
For his defense, Guillaume Rose’s lawyer calls a witness to the bar. Rare thing in an immediate appearance audience. This is one of the guests present at the evening and who has known the accused for a little over three years. They have already gone on vacation together. She attests that in her presence Guillaume Rose “never had a moved gesture. Neither towards young people nor towards the youngest.»»
A galette des Rois fifteen days later
Defense lawyer also points to the limits of the investigation. In which, according to him, he lacks testimonies. He recalls that the parents did not file a complaint right away. That they even returned, with their children, to the defendant and his mother a fortnight later to share the galette des rois. While at that time, even if they were not aware of the facts, they told the investigators that they had already had doubts. Which seems surprising to him.
The lawyer for the civil party takes up a quote from the accused to describe the acts reproached for him: “It’s ignoble, it’s horrible, it’s disgusting.She does not accept the theory of the coup mounted advanced by Guillaume Rose. “”What interest in parents to have such a procedure suffer from their children?She recalls the horror of the scene with precision. “”Each of the children was both a victim and witness to the other attack on the other», Harts the lawyer. She adds that “The procedure does not stop to children. It’s also horrible for parentsWho, each in turn, ended up cracking and presenting signs of depression.
The court follows the prosecutor’s requisitions
The public prosecutor, Frédéric Trinh, highlighted the few variations in the discourse of the accused. In view of his virgin locker he requires two years in prison suspended probationary for three years. With the ban on working in contact with minors, the obligation of psychological follow -up and its registration in the national file of authors of sexual or violent (Fijais).
The word goes to the defense lawyer who insists that the whole file is based on the testimony alone of children. “”At this Christmas Eve evening there were about twenty people. No one is heard by investigators. The computer equipment of the defendant was not even exploited on the pretext that there is a period of six months. The most basic investigations have not been carried out.He quotes many elements to exonerate his client. To the point of losing a little the court which asks him to shorten. “”You do not have a convincing element solid enough to condemn my client“, He concludes before requesting the release.
After deliberation, the court declared Guillaume Rose guilty and sentenced him to two years in prison suspended for three years. He will have to follow psychological care, will not be eligible, is prohibited from any contact with minors for five years, is registered in Fijais. He must also compensate the civil parties (children and parents) for their moral and material damage (the cost of care). In all he will have to pay € 12,660 with lawyers.
