"The court found Jean-Pierre Dagos, 58, guilty of having twice raped the woman in 2023 in the town of Pontault-Combault, east of Paris, once after she came to file the complaint, and then a few days later after summoning her back to his office."
"The woman is from Angola and did not have residency papers. She told the court she had been terrified, believing the officer was armed and had the power to deport her and force her to leave behind her three French-born children."
"An internal police investigator told the court on Monday that women had filed 176 complaints against law enforcement officers in 2023, of which 19 had amounted to at least inappropriate behaviour."
"Under French law, rape is 'any act of sexual penetration, of whatever nature, or any oral-genital act committed on another person through violence, coercion, threat or surprise'."
Jean-Pierre Dagos, a former police officer, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for raping a woman who reported domestic abuse. The rapes occurred in 2023 in Pontault-Combault, France. The victim, an Angolan woman without residency papers, feared deportation and leaving her children. Dagos admitted to imposing oral sex but claimed he believed it was consensual. In 2023, 176 complaints against law enforcement officers were filed, with 19 involving inappropriate behavior. A law revision will redefine rape to include any non-consensual sexual act.
