A complaint against the Cochin hospital in Paris after a rape in the emergency room

• A woman was brought to the Parisian establishment after colliding with her head after feeling unwell in front of a bar.

• Placed, still unconscious, in an individual cubicle, she was awakened by the pain caused by a man raping her with the fingers of his hand.

  He had spotted her during her illness and had also been taken to the emergency room.

• The plaintiff's lawyers are now requesting the opening of a preliminary investigation and referral to the investigating judge for the "endangerment" of the plaintiff's life, questioning the responsibility of the hospital.

A 34-year-old woman, raped on her bed when she had just been brought unconscious to the emergency room of Cochin hospital, has just filed a complaint against X for endangering the lives of others, according to our information, confirming articles from RMC and

.

"We have filed a complaint against X for endangering the lives of others", indicates to

Me Alexandre Lobry, one of the complainant's lawyers.

“A judicial investigation was opened on October 30 into the counts of rape committed by a person under the influence of narcotics, theft and fraud.

In this context, a 22-year-old man was indicted and remanded in custody,” a judicial source

also told

The facts date back to the night of October 27 to 28, during which this woman was brought to the Parisian establishment, after colliding with her head following an illness in front of a bar.

She was taken to the emergency room of the Cochin hospital by the firefighters, and placed, still unconscious, in an individual cubicle.

She was then awakened by the pain caused by a man raping her with the fingers of his hand, according to

, and scared the attacker away, screaming.

Already suspected of raping a minor

According to RMC, the nursing staff warned the police who spotted the man "when he had just made purchases in a grocery store with the young woman's payment card".

The police investigation revealed by RMC and

shows that this man, without papers, had spotted the thirties as soon as she felt unwell in front of the bar, would then have been brought to the emergency room himself by the firefighters after being taken from a coma alcoholic, or simulated an alcoholic coma.

This is where he would have ended up finding the victim.

The investigation still shows, according to RMC, that he was already suspected of rape two years ago, on a minor, but the case had been dismissed.

The plaintiff's lawyers are now requesting the opening of a preliminary investigation and referral to the investigating judge for the "endangerment" of the plaintiff's life, questioning the hospital's responsibility: "We want to understand what happened, were there any shortcomings in the monitoring obligation incumbent on the hospital?

We want the truth to come to light on this matter.
