A magistrate has just been sentenced to one year in prison and one year suspended Friday, March 11 by the court of Besançon for having proposed his minor daughter on libertine sites, reports France Bleu Besançon. This father of three children, aged 56, was also subject to an obligation of care and a ban on exercising a voluntary or professional activity in connection with minors. He will be registered on the file of the authors of sexual offenses, the Fijais.
In October 2019, a user of a libertine site reported that a man was offering his 12-year-old daughter for sex. He was arrested almost a year later, in June 2020. In police custody, the then vice-president of the Dijon court admitted to having posted the announcement but that it was only about fantasies. The investigation showed that the child had not suffered any violence.
During the trial, last February, the defense lawyer asked for the release of the defendant. On the contrary, the public prosecutor of Besançon had asked to be “strict” towards him, because he felt “above the law”. The judgment is in accordance with the requisitions of the prosecution. The man had been revoked last July by the Superior Council of the Judiciary (CSM), but this decision is the subject of an appeal before the Council of State.
