The Val-de-Marne Assize Court acquitted the two police officers accused of rape by Emily Spanton. The lawyer for the Canadian is considering an appeal in cassation.
Judicial rebound at the Val-de-Marne Assize Court, Friday April 22: the two police officers, Antoine Quirin and Nicolas Redouane, were declared not guilty of the rape of the Canadian Emily Spanton at 36 quai des orfèvres (Paris), the headquarters of the judicial police. Three years earlier, they had been sentenced at first instance to seven years in prison.
On the evening of April 24, 2014, Emily Spanton met several BRI police officers in an Irish pub. Shortly after, the agents offered him a tour of their premises. The young woman comes out in shock, denouncing a gang rape. She has always maintained this version. This time, a psychiatric expert diagnosed him as “borderline”, that is to say with a changeable mood. The Assize Court questioned the reliability of the testimony of the civil party, based in particular on inaccuracies, imprecisions and several lies, she explains. A misunderstanding for the lawyer of the Canadian who thinks of making an appeal in cassation.
