The victim then details his ordeal, which lasted 10 days. She explains that she got closer to a young 18-year-old woman named Meriem on the Snapchat social network. Meriem, also a sex worker, invites him to Paris. She would have even paid him his train ticket. The two girlfriends discuss and evoke the possibility of prostitution.
Laila accepted Meriem’s invitation. Arrival on June 7 at Gare de Lyon, the alleged victim is accompanied to an apartment in Pontoise. She is forced to undress to take pictures, which will then be published by Meriem on a site dedicated to prostitution ads. Laila is allowed to use her phone only to reassure those close to her, under the watchful eye of Meriem, the alleged tout.
In this accommodation in Pontoise, Laila would have remained locked up for 2 days and would have been raped there. Silex would have gone there to make sure all was well. She accuses the artist from Gonesse of having received the money for forced and paid sex. Laila then claims to have been the victim of violence, tied up and suffocated with a pillow to the point of losing consciousness, after refusing to pass. She would have woken up in the trunk of a car.
On June 17 at 9 a.m., the alleged victim (named Laila) telephones the Orange police station, in the Vaucluse. She tells the police that she was kidnapped, kidnapped and raped in the Paris region, and that her captors took her to Vaucluse and that she managed to escape them. Refugee with a friend, the agents in intervention find her and take her to the hospital. Laila is examined and also shows signs of beatings and burns. In contrast, no stigma of sexual violence.
Silex and his accomplices were arrested at their homes on October 19. The three men admit having had sex with Laila but assure that she was consenting, and deny all the other accusations of procuring.
