A man in his forties suspected of having raped and sexually assaulted four of his nieces has been appearing before the Assize Court of Aube since March 29.
The charges took place between 1995 and 1998 for three of the victims and until 2007 for the last, reports

A “helpful and kind” uncle
The 40-year-old denied the charges throughout the trial.
Arrested in 2019, the uncle was described as "helpful and kind" by the family and witnesses, despite the inappropriate behavior he regularly adopted.
The man obviously dreamed of being a porn actor and did not hesitate to masturbate in places where he risked being surprised.
Despite his denials and the efforts of the defence, the man was finally sentenced to fifteen years of criminal imprisonment followed by five years of socio-judicial follow-up.
The court also banned him from exercising for a decade any activity likely to bring him into contact with minors.
