Victim of a rape in the emergency room, she files a complaint against the Cochin hospital

A 34-year-old woman, raped on her bed when she had just been brought unconscious to the emergency room of Cochin hospital, has just filed a complaint against X for endangering the lives of others, according to our information, confirming items from RMC and The Parisian. “We have filed a complaint against X for endangering the lives of others”, indicates to 20 minutes Me Alexandre Lobry, one of the plaintiff’s lawyers.

“A judicial investigation was opened on October 30 into the counts of rape committed by a person under the influence of narcotics, theft and fraud. In this context, a 22-year-old man was indicted and remanded in custody”, also indicates to 20 minutes a judicial source.

The facts date back to the night of October 27 to 28, during which this woman was brought to the Parisian establishment, after colliding with her head following an illness in front of a bar. She was taken to the emergency room of the Cochin hospital by the firefighters, and placed, still unconscious, in an individual cubicle. She is then awakened by the pain caused by a man digitally raping her, according The Parisian. She scared her attacker away by screaming.

Already suspected of raping a minor

According to RMC, the nursing staff warned the police who spotted the man “when he had just made purchases in a grocery store with the young woman’s payment card”. The police investigation revealed by the radio and The Parisian demonstrates that this man, without papers, had spotted the thirties as soon as she felt unwell in front of the bar, would then have been brought to the emergency room himself by the firefighters after being taken from an alcoholic coma, possibly simulated. This is where he would have ended up finding the victim. The investigation still shows that he was already suspected of rape two years ago, on a minor, but the case had been dismissed.

The plaintiff’s lawyers are now requesting the opening of a preliminary investigation and referral to the investigating judge for “endangerment”, questioning the responsibility of the hospital: “We want to understand what happened, is there were failures in the monitoring obligation incumbent on the hospital? We want the truth to come to light on this matter. »
