They met in November 2018 during a cruise. Seduced by this 53-year-old man, a 79-year-old woman thought she was living a real love story. But he really only wanted his money. Tried on March 16 for abuse of weakness before the criminal court of Saint-Brieuc (Côtes-d'Armor), the false seducer was sentenced Thursday to three years in prison, two of which were suspended, reports Le Télégramme.
Taking advantage of the comfortable retirement of the old lady, who died almost penniless in December 2021, the individual led the high life for several months. Living in Antibes, he defrauded this widowed woman of more than 227,000 euros, including two Rolex brand watches worth 47,650 euros. Unscrupulously, he also took advantage of the money the old lady paid him to pay for the services of prostitutes, blaze at the casino or pay his speeding fines.
