A couple, in the process of separation, were indicted and imprisoned on Monday for rape and incestuous sexual assault on their 5-year-old child, we learned on Tuesday from the Grenoble prosecutor's office, confirming information from BFM DICI.
Facts revealed by the father
The 43-year-old mother is suspected of having raped her child, while the 60-year-old father admitted to having filmed the attacks.
"The facts are likely to have started during the year 2021," a source close to the investigation told AFP.
A preliminary investigation was opened by the Gap prosecutor's office on Friday, after a report from the Departmental Council.
"The facts were revealed by the father to a social worker," said the public prosecutor of Grenoble, Eric Vaillant.
Initially heard on Saturday by the gendarmerie as a witness, the dad was taken into custody.
The mother was then arrested and taken into custody in turn.
Originally from a village near Gap (Hautes-Alpes), the couple, who have no criminal record, were brought before a magistrate from the criminal center of Grenoble on Monday.
The mother indicted for "incestuous rape"
The mother was indicted for "incestuous rape" and the father for "complicity".
Both were imprisoned by decision of the judge of freedoms and detention, in accordance with the requisitions of the prosecution.
The investigation is continuing on the basis of a letter of request from an investigating judge.
The 5-year-old boy and his 11-year-old half-sister were placed on Friday evening by court decision of the Gap prosecutor's office and a children's judge was seized for educational assistance.
