87-year-old man charged with raping a mentally disabled woman

An 87-year-old man was indicted by the court of Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine) for the rape of a woman in public transport. The facts allegedly took place on January 12 in Rueil-Malmaison, aboard the RER A which was traveling towards Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

The information was revealed by The Parisian, which specifies that the accused would have benefited from the mental handicap suffered by the 27-year-old victim. After following him on a bus, then between two RER stations, the man would then have raped him using a latex glove, before fleeing, specifies the daily. The object was found in a trash can by the police of the regional transport security (SRT).

The octogenarian, who had no criminal record, was finally arrested on January 21 at his home. He will have to wear an electronic bracelet by the end of the instruction. Ile-de-France women represent 60% of victims of sexual assault in public transport, reported in 2017 a study by the National Observatory of Delinquency.
