She dedicated her life to her niece Karine.
After the conviction of her executioner for repeated rapes, Karine Jambu had even been adopted by her aunt, who fought ruthlessly to obtain the truth.
This Tuesday, Laurence Brunet-Jambu was in the shoes of the defendant, accused of having disclosed the investigation file to several French press organizations.
The Rennes criminal court finally released her, ending her anguish of several months.
“They want to silence me,” she hammered a few weeks ago.
By contacting the media, the intention was clear: the aunt wanted to talk about her niece's case to obtain the conviction of her rapist.
But also to highlight the dysfunctions of the State, child welfare, prosecutors, magistrates, doctors, social workers who had failed to protect his niece.
As a child, she had suffered multiple rapes from Roland Blaudy, a friend of her parents.
In 2018, the latter was sentenced to thirty years in prison by the Assize Court of Ille-et-Vilaine.
Karine's parents, accomplices in having pretended not to see anything, had also been convicted.
Her mother had already been sentenced to eight years in prison for killing her baby with 180 stab wounds.
But when Karine was born, social services did not want the child to be placed.
Left to her own devices, the child had been easy prey for a man who abused her when she was only four years old.
After the conviction of her rapist, Karine had seen the state condemned for gross negligence.
A rare decision in French justice, which came to punish the glaring shortcomings of all those who should have protected her.
This Tuesday, the young woman, now an adult, had the relief of seeing her aunt be released for the fierce fight she led.
Relieved.
