Marseille police officer accused of raping and sexually assaulting a British tourist
In a shocking turn of events, a British tourist has filed a complaint against three police officers in Marseille, France, for alleged rape and sexual assault. The incident, which took place in the picturesque town of La Ciotat, has sparked an internal investigation by the IGPN, the police internal affairs unit.
According to the Marseille public prosecutor, Nicolas Bessone, and French newspaper Le Figaro, the tourist was taken into custody by the officers on September 10 at the La Ciotat police station. One of the officers has been charged with 'rape and sexual assault by a person abusing the authority of their position' and has been placed in provisional detention.
One of the two accompanying officers is accused of kissing the tourist on the face and digitally penetrating her. This officer has been 'placed under the status of assisted witness,' according to the prosecutor's office. The third officer was also placed under the status of assisted witness, but it is important to note that this officer is not one of the two previously accused of sexual assault.
Another officer in Marseille has also been charged and placed under judicial control. However, unlike the officer charged with 'voluntary abstention from preventing a crime or misdemeanor against the physical integrity of a person,' this officer is not the same as the one previously charged with the same offense.
The specific acts of 'voluntary abstention from preventing a crime or misdemeanor' are not detailed in this paragraph. It is also worth noting that the complaint alleged acts of rape committed the night before the tourist was taken into custody.
Following the incident, the tourist was taken in charge by a victim support association. The IGPN's involvement indicates an internal investigation into the actions of the officers. The charges against the officers are in addition to the initial charges of rape and sexual assault.
The alleged assault occurred on a British tourist in southern France. The name of the accused police officer in Marseille detained for rape and sexual abuse of a British tourist is not available in the provided sources.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding the law and protecting the rights of all individuals, regardless of their nationality or circumstances. The investigation is ongoing, and further updates are expected to be released as more information becomes available.
