A 60-year-old man was taken into custody on 1 May at the gendarmerie headquarters in Saint-Pol-de-Léon (Finistère). The investigators wanted to hear him on extremely serious facts committed against his goddaughter. Barely 6 years old, the girl would have denounced multiple facts of rape and sexual assault committed in 2022 and 2023.

According to the victim, her godfather forced her to have sex when she went to his home in Brest. The public prosecutor Camille Miansoni evokes "fellatio, anal penetrations and cunnilingus" imposed on the girl.

It was a relative of the child who collected the heavy secret and denounced the facts to the gendarmes. At the end of his police custody, the 60-year-old mechanic was placed in pre-trial detention. An investigating judge has been appointed to oversee the investigation. The defendant is known to the justice for a conviction of 2019 but "unrelated to the alleged facts", according to the prosecutor.
