Four men appear this Monday afternoon at the Bobigny judicial court for “aggravated pimping”. They are accused of having prostituted four young girls, three of whom are minors.
A month of investigation
On September 15, a worried mother pushes the doors of the Raincy police station in Seine-Saint-Denis. His daughter placed in a home has run away. The mother has just discovered an ad on a website in which her teenager offers to offer her body for sex. She is only 15 years old.
The police immediately start looking for him and his potential pimps. After a month of investigation, and several wiretaps, on October 18 they arrested the four men suspected of having prostituted the victim. Investigators also discovered three other victims, two of whom were minors.
Specially rented hotel rooms or apartments
The young girls were forced, for several weeks, to make “passes” in hotel rooms or specially rented apartments across the region, in Rosny-sous-Bois, Courbevoie, Athis-Mons and Nangis. The days could bring in up to 500 euros, almost all of these sums ending up in the pockets of the “bosses”.
The four men involved, aged 19 and 20 and all from Seine-Saint-Denis, partially acknowledged the facts during their police custody which lasted 96 hours. They were remanded in custody. They face up to 10 years in prison on trial.
