The spouse is sentenced
Facts for which the violent companion appeared on December 12 at the Alençon court. The magistrates did not fail to praise the bravery of the heroic teenager: “Your son had the presence of mind to go to a gym to ask someone to alert the police.”
A salutary act. And despite the defendant's defense, which maintained that “it was just a one-time thing,” despite a previous conviction for domestic violence, he was found guilty. “In my opinion, there is an imminent risk of further violence“, the judge said.
