A man has been actively wanted since Sunday in Vienna, for the kidnapping and the Sunday rape of a 9-year-old girl, who has since been found saved, we learned Monday from concordant sources.
The kidnapping and sexual assault took place on Sunday in a residential area of Villiers, a village of 950 inhabitants where the child lives and is educated, 20 km north-east of Poitiers, said Mayor Joël Doret.
A hundred gendarmes mobilized on Sunday
The assailant in the car reportedly approached the girl as she was walking to get bread, he said.
The child, who was raped, was quickly found and taken care of at the Poitiers University Hospital, but his attacker was still wanted on Monday, said the Poitiers prosecutor's office, confirming information from France 3 Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
A hundred gendarmes from several units, supported by a helicopter, were mobilized on Sunday in the early hours of the investigation in an immediate intervention plan (ex-Epervier), initially triggered in three departments - Vienne, Deux-Sèvres, and Maine-et-Loire - a device that has since been lifted.
The investigation is actively continuing, led by the gendarmes of the Poitiers research section.
