Overview
- In the 19th arrondissement of Paris, a 21-year-old woman was attacked in her residence courtyard, where her father and nearby residents restrained a suspect until police arrived.
- Officers used a Taser to subdue the man, then took him into custody at the local station, and the victim received care from responding police staff.
- In a separate case in Maisons-Alfort, police arrested a father suspected of offering his daughter to men on dating sites, with the minors brigade now leading the inquiry.
- A whistleblower who had messaged the adolescent for months traced the father’s activity across dating platforms and alerted police, which prompted the arrest and investigation.
- Both cases remain at an early stage under French ‘garde à vue’ custody rules, with specialized juvenile investigators assessing evidence and next steps.
