14-Yr-Old Daughter Secretly Films Father On Webcam During Defilement

A man accused of sexually assaulting his own
daughter for a period of many months has been
arrested in the southern French town of
Florensac after the 14-year-old girl had the
presence of mind to secretly film an attack
using a webcam.
The girl, aged 14, used a webcam on her computer
to film the abuse, in Florensac, a town in the
southern Hérault department.
The footage is now a key piece of evidence in the
case.
Details of the abuse were revealed through the
girl’s school counselor at the beginning of
September.
But it was not until after the abuse was captured on
camera that police had enough evidence to arrest
the father.
As a result, the defendant was questioned last
Tuesday and placed in detention in Béziers prison.
“My client acknowledges the facts,” the suspect’s
lawyer Mathieu Montfort was quoted as saying.
“There was a period when he was unemployed and
in the middle of a divorce.
He insists that these acts did not stretch back
further than three or four months.
His daughter says longer. But everyone should be
very careful in what they say.”
The girl herself, meanwhile, has been moved to a
women’s shelter for her own protection.
“The victim was placed in a shelter as a matter of
urgency,” confirmed a representative from the
Public Prosecutor’s Department.
“We have to avoid potential pressure from the
family of this child who was abused and filmed.
“We are afraid of the violence of this man who is
downplaying the facts despite the video and who,
moreover, explained that he took no pleasure from
abusing his own daughter and that he was just
messing around.”
Investigators also need to clarify whether the girl’s
mother, who also allegedly suffered abuse by her
husband, was aware that her daughter was being
abused.
This isn’t the first time in recent weeks that France
has been haunted by the spectre of family
members sexually assaulting each other.
In September, 25-year-old Sabrina Bonner was
handed a 20-year jail term for holding down her
four-year-old son while his stepfather defiled him
repeatedly during a prison visit.
