The investigation depicted a man who multiplies conquests and uses psychological pressure on the women with whom he has an affair. Stéphane Plaza “exercises manipulation, pressure and mistreatment” in order to “bringing together several serious relationships at the same time”according to testimony. “The serious problem is not infidelity, but violence”adds an ex-partner. “He then grabbed my hand at the fingers and turned them violently”says one of them in a written testimony consulted by the investigation site. “I screamed in pain. Three of my fingers were hanging off, they quickly turned purple and swollen.”
