Overview
- In the night of July 10–11, a female student outside the Les Gazelles residence was forced into a car at knifepoint and raped before being returned to the site.
- The victim made a silent call to emergency number 17 while in the vehicle; operators heard the attack, the phone was cut, and the victim later provided the licence plate that led to the arrest.
- Police arrested a 47-year-old man who was placed in custody on July 11 and has acknowledged the facts during questioning.
- The prosecutor says the suspect was convicted in 2013 to 18 years for similar crimes and was released on June 6, 2026 after roughly 15 years in detention with socio-judicial measures in place.
- Students and local residents report shock and fear, and authorities face renewed scrutiny over post-release supervision and campus safety as the suspect is presented to an investigating judge on charges including kidnapping, sequestration and rape in recidivism.
