French Village Rocked by Child Sex Abuse Allegations

In the quiet village of Sérignac-sur-Garonne, nestled in the Lot-et-Garonne department of France, a disturbing case has unfolded. A 65-year-old former postman is facing serious accusations of rape, assault, and sexual exhibition involving at least a dozen children. The investigation, which began in August 2024 with further complaints filed in early 2025, has led to the questioning of approximately forty children. While the number of children interviewed is significant, it does not necessarily confirm the exact number of victims. According to La Dépêche du Midi, the suspect has "partially confessed" to the crimes. He is currently out on bail under judicial supervision, with a court order preventing him from returning to the Lot-et-Garonne department. This case underscores the importance of child protection and highlights the ongoing efforts to bring justice to victims of such crimes.
