French Paedophiles Arrested in Time (Triggering)

Trigger Warning


1) Suspected French paedophiles held

May 17, 2007 - 12:04AM

French police have detained three men and foiled a plot to kidnap a Belgian girl, sexually abuse her for a weekend and brand her, French and Belgian justice officials said.

The suspects, all Frenchmen in their 50s, were monitored by a Franco-Belgian police operation, including a Belgian agent who had infiltrated the group. Police moved in late last week when the kidnap appeared imminent.

According to French and Belgian officials, the men were seeking to kidnap a girl aged five to nine from Belgium, torture her in France for a weekend and release her with an "S" branded on her as a "souvenir" of her ordeal.

They would have protected their identities by wearing masks and they would have filmed their acts.

The case revives memories of Belgian Marc Dutroux, convicted of kidnapping and raping six girls in the mid-1990s.

"We have prevented a new nightmare," Belgian federal magistrate Hilde Vandevoorde told a news conference.

Police discovered a branding iron and a video camera at the home of the main suspect, a married father.

He could face up to 10 years in prison, French judicial officials told a separate news conference in Rouen.

Belgian Federal Prosecutor Johan Delmulle said the man had expressed relief at being stopped and told police of his "uncontrollable desire".

Police foil attempted kidnapping


16 May 2007

BRUSSELS – The police in Brussels have succeeded in stopping what could have become a second Dutroux case. Detectives unmasked two Frenchmen who planned to kidnap an underage girl and hold her prisoner.

The two men sought help from Belgians via the internet. The intercepted messages indicated that they wanted to sexually abuse their victim, a young girl.

The two Frenchmen were arrested at the end of last week, the main suspect in the city of Rouen and another suspect near Biarritz. Searches were carried out at the hiding place of the Frenchmen and the homes of the Belgian contact people.

The police intervention came just in time, because the paedophiles had already prepared a hiding place to keep the child prisoner. Handcuffs were found and a cell had been built. The exact location was not revealed on Tuesday. Several computers were confiscated in Belgium.

A press conference will be held in Rouen and in Brussels this morning.

Justice Minister Laurette Onkelinx (Socialist party PS) will herself be talking to the press because of the significance of the case.
