Outreau case. A third trial opens today in Rennes – Ouest-France

In justice, Rennes has a good reputation. Hence the frequent business scenery like Maurice Agnelet and Clichy-sous-Bois. But why Outreau ? The acquittal of the last six accused, in 2005, during the appeal hearing in Paris, was relieved everyone. Ten years later, the case of pedophilia rebounds. Daniel Legrand, one of the acquitted, is judged from Tuesday for the same offense of rape allegedly committed when he was a minor.

The human and judicial disaster finally found its epilogue. It was without counting on the pugnacity of Innocence in danger. The association, which specializes in tracking down pedophiles, spotted a “forgotten” period, during the first trial in Saint-Omer.

rape of children of incestuous couple, Thierry Myriam Delay-Badawi, have committed between 1997 and 2000. Twelve of the thirteen were acquitted while major. Daniel Legrand son, born in July 1981, himself has been paid for the years 1999 and 2000, when he was adult.

But not for the years 1997 to 1999, while still teen. This part, which reports a juvenile assize court, had been left out. At the time, these two years did not weigh heavy in view of the enormous Outreauet folder of seventeen accused. The Ille-et-Vilaine inherits court today.

“appalling”

An absurd situation? Not for lawyers Jonathan Delay, 21, and his brother Sharif, 25, two of the four children of the Delay-Badaoui couple who are civil parties. This trial is for them, rehabilitate the word of the young victims whose suffering was retracted in favor of injustice experienced by thirteen acquitted of Outreau, dragged through the mud and incarcerated for months.

Daniel Legrand, 33, sentenced in 2004 acquitted the following year, will be the only defendant in Rennes. Alain Marécaux, abbot Wiel and another judge Burgaud are cited as witnesses.

The civil party would have wanted to avoid a third trial Outreau, to devote himself to cases Legrand. But, you can not isolate it. “We are not revisionist revenge, defends M ^th Patrice Reviron Jonathan Delay lawyer and member of the legal committee of Innocence in danger. This case has gray areas. Daniel Legrand must explain his confessions and retractions. “

The defense, she is furious. “It is appalling, loose M ^th Julien Delarue, one of the lawyers Daniel Legrand. People who see the pedophile everywhere, trying to remake the game. Or, if there was room for a third trial, justice would not have waited ten years! “ The debates open tomorrow at the Parliament of Brittany and should last until 5 June.
