Spotted by a well-known trainer in the field, the man quickly took her under his wing. At the age of 12, the young girl obtained her first French champion title and this man then offered her parents to accommodate her at his home with his wife and children in Paris, so that Ludivine could pursue her sports studies.

One day, another athlete files a complaint of sexual assault against the coach. Ludivine is summoned by the police to testify. But in order not to arouse suspicion regarding the gynecological examinations that the young girl could carry out, the coach then invites men to his house to sleep with Ludivine. Under the influence, the young girl does not denounce him and the coach is not indicted. When Ludivine was 17, the man divorced and moved to Belgium where he was appointed international director in his field. There, Ludivine is alone with her attacker and becomes his real sex slave.

The coach was sentenced to 13 years in prison for sexual assault on a minor under 15 and banned from working with minors. After a long reconstruction, Ludivine is, once again, French artistic roller skating champion.
