🇫🇷🔴"She is in a state of total shock."
A 12-year-old French girl was reportedly gang raped by two men in an Airbnb in France in Décines-Charpieu.
Now, the family is in shock after the judge in her case released the 2 men arrested in the case.
The victim's lawyer, David Metaxas, said the judge's decision was "incomprehensible."
The young girl was allegedly lured to the Airbnb where she consumed extreme amounts of alcohol and fell unconscious. She was raped anally, vaginally, and orally, losing her virginity.
The younger victim recounted waking up "lying on a bed covered in blood," before realizing what had happened, reports Lyon Mag.
Her complaint to police was initially "very poorly received, as if they were a nuisance," said Metaxas, the lawyer representing the 12-year-old.
"It is unacceptable that the form to file a complaint was not given to them by the police. It must be remembered that they were dealing with a young girl who had been deflowered, anally and orally penetrated, and who had wounds all over her body."
Not only were the men released, but the judge issued no restraining order.
"The lack of coercive measures concerning the suspects […] is incomprehensible,” stated Metaxas. He added that the court has failed to demand any judicial supervision or even a restraining order on the alleged perpetrators.
“They can, if they wish, contact and visit the young girl whenever they want,” he warns. “Therefore, there is total incomprehension, not to mention anger, on the part of the family.”
As for the young victim, she allegedly collapsed in the lawyer's office upon hearing of the judge's decision and was taken to the hospital. “She is in a state of total shock. She couldn't utter a single word in my office. The justice system needs to take charge of this case very quickly," he stated.
Metaxas insists he will not let the matter be and will be asking the public prosecutor that "a specialized service be put in charge of the investigation with the implementation of coercive measures to ensure the safety of this minor.”
The two men are still under investigation.
