The complaint directly targets the Nanterre hospital and raises the question of its security and monitoring.
An investigation was opened following the complaint filed against the Max-Fourestier hospital in Nanterre by a 78-year-old woman raped at the end of July while she was hospitalized there, the prosecution said on Wednesday.
In mid-September, a man was indicted for rape, suspected of having assaulted two patients, aged 78 and 70, at the Max-Fourestier hospital on the morning of July 27.
He is also suspected of having raped a 12-year-old girl two days later in the Zilina-Chemin district.
Following the rapes, the Nanterre hospital had assured AFP that it had taken "additional security measures", in particular "strengthened controls at the entrance to the hospital" and "more frequent rounds of agents of security ".
A monitoring obligation not honored?
Filed in early November, the complaint of the former patient, consulted by AFP, targets the establishment and its director for deliberately endangering the lives of others.
“The victim and his daughter had alerted the hospital upstream of the facts about a security defect: an emergency exit opened from the outside when it should not have”, indicated the lawyer of the plaintiff, Me Amelle Bouchareb.
An investigation was opened in mid-November and entrusted to the Brigade for the repression of personal crime (BRDP), according to the Nanterre prosecution.
“Health establishments have an obligation to monitor, which is all the more crucial as they welcome a vulnerable public.
It's a scandal in terms of security, ”said Me Ouadie Elhamamouchi, also the plaintiff's lawyer.
