Protests condemning sexual assault on campus in Sienspo, a prestigious French school“I raped you, Alma.”
A major French daily newspaper faced criticism after posting an open letter claiming to have raped his ex-girlfriend on the 8th (local time), International Women’s Day.
Liberacion filled half of the front page of the newspaper published that day with a picture of a woman being overpowered by a man under the title’A letter from the perpetrator to the victim’.
In a letter, the 20-year-old perpetrator “Samuel” (pseudonym) admitted in a letter that in April 2019, he raped Alma, who attended the “SciencesPo” campus of the French Political University (IEP) in Bordeaux.
Alma is a person who filmed the story of being in a psychiatry since the end of last year because he was unable to escape from the shock of being raped by his boyfriend in the past in January and shared it online.
With Alma’s confession, there were fewer posts on social media (SNS), such as Instagram and Twitter, accusing the sexual assault in Xiangspoh, and the school promised to prepare measures.
In his long letter, Samuel looked back at what factors influenced him to commit sexual assault against his lover, and admitted that he “spoiled part of the life of the person I loved most.
Liberacion said, “The voice of the perpetrator should not cover the voice of the victim,” and drew a line that the decision to release this letter was never in sympathy with the perpetrator.
He explained that he had obtained Alma’s permission to disclose the letter by contacting the team investigating the case in Xiangspore in advance.
“Alma was relieved that he admitted that the perpetrator had raped him,” said Liberacion, and said he would proceed with the complaint as soon as he was ready.
In addition, he added that he contacted Samuel and warned in advance that even if the letter goes anonymously, he has no choice but to hand over his personal information at the request of the law enforcement authorities.
Despite Liberacion’s explanation, the weekly magazine Robs reported that the accusation that it is a problem to report the abuser’s allegations online in such detail is a problem.
The women’s group’NousToutes’ posted on Twitter: “A letter from a man who raped a victim being treated in a hospital was posted on the front page and promoted on March 8 is violence against hundreds of thousands of other female victims.” Pointed out.
