...were part of a sophisticated network of pedophiles who tapped into Angers' underbelly as word of the prostitution ring spread. They brought in customers who "had money, made appointments, and were punctual," Rouiller says. One man paid €458 for one sexual assault on a child, and Franck V.'s wife, Patricia, regularly took in about €1,200 a month. "Franck had telephone calls from the whole of France," says Rouiller. "He's a poor miserable man with no intelligence. He had no reason to have contact with people in Montpellier or Lille." Much like the pedophilia scandal that...
...accused men had been convicted previously of pedophilia, including Marine V.'s grandfather, who in 1991 was sentenced to 13 years for raping his son.

So then why don’t we hear their voices or see their faces? Sexual violence is vastly underreported; the same study indicated that over 84 percent of survivors do not report their attacks to the police. The stark reality...
...they for real?” How is it that only for the most prevalent, violent crime—sexual violence—that we create these undue burdens for survivors to prove that their accusation is legitimate, or that they were not at fault for their assault? A community that is silent, and that does not take a stand to support survivors, is one that allows these incredible emotional, legal, and societal obstacles to silence survivors’ voices...
