Acquitted in 2005 as a major, Daniel Legrand is retried since Tuesday for the alleged rape of the four children of the couple Delay-Badawi when he was a minor. He faces twenty years in prison.
Special Envoy to Rennes
The third trial of Daniel Legrand, 33, acquitted in 2005 in the Outreau case as a major, opened Tuesday morning before the Assize Court of minors, in Rennes. The accused responds to rape and aggravated sexual assault on the four children of the couple Delay-Badawi allegedly committed when he was himself under 18. He faces twenty years in prison. Sharif, Dimitri Delay and Jonathan were civil parties, while they had never previously designated as part of their tormentors. – Four adults, including their parents were sentenced as such
The very blue eyes of Daniel Legrand illuminate a face which psychotropic give a waxy complexion. His forehead is often glistening with sweat and he tends to doze. He dressed dark clothes and at the request of President Philippe Dary, marital status declines with a mechanical voice, hurried and hoarse. “I recognized disabled adults, unable to work,” he says at full speed. Facing him on the bench for the plaintiff, Jonathan Delay is dressed in white – jacket, shirt, linen trousers. It has a thick black mane and a friendly face. Later, his brother Dimitri will enter: leather jacket, hoodie, finely trimmed beard and a funny hair with a kind of puff-umbrella. The young man sits at a safe distance from his brother, with whom he does not exchange a word.
Daniel Legrand had entrusted to the staff of the institution as any what he said about Outreau, including of blood crimes, was false.
The civil party opened hostilities. Mr. Patrice Reviron Jonathan council wants to be identified and heard a fellow prisoner Daniel Legrand, which he shared a cell in late 2001, early 2002. At that time, Daniel Legrand – accused as sixteen others widespread pedophilia – maintains his innocence. He wrote to the investigating judge Fabrice Burgaud to “confess” that he attended, among Delay, in their apartment Tour du Renard, the murder of a little girl, whose investigation will establish that n ‘ has not occurred. In several works, it was written that it was on the advice of fellow inmate that he would have invented this lie, in order to confess to anything to obtain his release.
Me Reviron, giving the application a solemnity unusual – he filed written submissions – think, perhaps, this former prisoner, he obviously has not met since he himself know his name possibly contradict Daniel Legrand. The accused, in any case, does not remember him. And the defense has, in the record, in a far more secure room that late assertion of an unknown: the letter to the investigating judge of the deputy director of the prison in which was reclusive Mr. Legrand. The head of the prison administration explained – very unusual approach – that the person was not going at all well and that he had told the staff can arrange that everything he told about Outreau, including blood crimes was false
Then Daniel Legrand recounts his life, his youth dedicated to a single worship. “. The football, football, football” His nickname was not Dany, as the “Legrand Dany “sought by the police before falling on two Daniel Legrand, son and father, immediately accused of abominations, but” Paul Ince, “named after a Manchester United player. He describes himself as a shy teenager, who was running behind the ball more after the daughters of Wimereux, where he lives. He speaks of the earthquake of November 2001, the acquittal in December 2005, his son Tom, “He goes about his 4 years. He is promising. When I see him, I’m still amazed. “He also mentions the” heavy process “set up in 2007 after a psychotic episode of hallucinations and paranoia. And loneliness: “Everyone dropped me. I live alone with my mother. “(Daniel Legrand father, acquitted in 2004, died of cancer in 2012). And again he does not understand what he is doing.
“Outreau, it’s not my area”
The plaintiff seeks to drag on another field: that of his drug use. He himself admitted that he smoked a bit of cannabis and had even inhaled heroin. My Reviron Cormier and insist they are trying to tell the accused that he took drugs before his 18th birthday, not so much to make it go through an inveterate addict – he was sentenced in 2007 to 3 months in jail farm for reporting 100 grams of heroin in Belgium – but he had to move forward purchase merchandise at the Tour du Renard, inhabited by the abused children. But Daniel Legrand repeat: “Outreau, it’s not my area. I Wimereux. “The defense goes online, and contains the assaults of his enemies.
At the end of the day, the foundation of these deliver a dignemenent moving moments, wonderfully human, we not see anywhere else, and with Nadine Peggy testimony.
Nadine, first, the mother of Daniel Legrand. This little good simple woman, with her beautiful accent of Pas-de-Calais, has not lived in the petals of roses but she never complains. In November 2001, police arrested her husband and son. It is said that the first is head of a pedophile ring, sewn with gold, the owner of a sex shop and a residence in Belgium, while they are in debt up to his neck – they do not even have more housing, her husband sleeps in his car, a beat-up Citroen. The Dary president asks, “Your son was there a nickname?”
“This story fell us on the corner of the mouth”
Mrs. Reagan: “No. Finally his friends called the Paul Ince. At first we did not understand, it was believed they called “Police”. “The Advocate General Stéphane Cantero, rather quiet at this stage of the debate, rises and, without warning calls the mother of the accused “A witness, who will be heard, claimed that you were involved in an orgy with your husband. Is that correct? “Mrs. Reagan is troubled, looks left and right, the jurors scrutinize, in his old parka beige, with a benevolent amusement. The Advocate General, “This is when you have sex with others.” Mrs. Reagan, “Now I know. But I would have never been, nor my husband has not been brought up like this “
She adds.” A sex shop (she pronounces: “sex shop”), I not even know what it was. One day we had hired Titanic , the tape was broken it was reported for the change. “In the video store, of course, not the sex shop that her husband never owned.
He is succeeded by his daughter Peggy. She has less accent, but speaks more directly: “This story fell on the corner of her mouth, I am disgusted. Yes, Daniel was compensated [like the thirteen acquitted], but it will not make him health, it is broken, this kid. “His father and brother at the head of a pedophile network that brought thousands and cents? “One wonders where it went, the dough,” Peggy Legrand launches storm, in the eye of the jury: “I never lowered my head. My family, I know it by heart. Legrand is my name, I am proud and I will never change. I pray the Lord every day that our children do not have the life they had. “
At this point, we do not think the ghost cellmate that civil side hopes to see emerge as from the depths of oblivion. It is thought that the film broke praised by Legrand, it was Titanic , and this title is fine with the procedure of Outreau.
