Ten years after the fiasco that had shaken the judiciary, the Outreau case resurfaces with the opening in an electric atmosphere yesterday at Rennes, the trial of one of the 13 acquitted, Daniel Legrand, who must answer rape on children he allegedly committed when he was a minor.
From the beginning of the public hearing yesterday, the President of the Assize Court for minors Ille -et-Vilaine intervened to calm the tense exchanges between opposing counsel, calling the discussions “clear (and) as serene as possible.”
“We prefer to do the trial of the lawsuit that to do so trial “, lamented at the hearing Me Leon-Lef Forster, civil party lawyer Cherif and Dimitri Delay while Dupond-Moretti me, one of Neil Reagan supporters, denounced” all those people who see pedophiles everywhere “

“It makes no sense”
As for the alleged acts committed when he was an adult and for which he was acquitted, the alleged rape allegedly committed on the four son of the Delay family, whose father and mother recognized sexually abusing.

” It’s not huge I ask: just to be heard at the fair value of words or what I’m going to say “” We were abused (…. ), they were never listened to us (…) never asked the right questions, “lamented the young man, 20 years old.
