A new conviction seems to be approaching for Nordahl Lelandais. Two years in prison were requested against him on Monday before the Charleville-Mézières criminal court. The man who had already been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of little Maëlys was appearing this time for a sexual assault, which he denies, on one of his little cousins, then aged 14, in 2017.
Registration in the Fijais (automated judicial file for perpetrators of sexual or violent offenses) was also required, indicated the lawyers for the victim and the defense at the end of the hearing which was held behind closed doors. The decision is due on January 12.
