While their mothers are chatting on the lawns, their two little daughters go into the woods to relieve an urgent urge. A man who "played with his sex", according to the police report, approaches one of the two girls when she removes her panties. The individual would then have put his hand on his buttocks. The mother had the good reflex to keep the clothes worn by her daughter at the time of the events.

The cybercrime investigators participated in the exploitation of the suspect's computer equipment.

In view of his profile, investigators from the juvenile brigade fear that this individual has committed other exhibitions or assaults on Nantes children.
