A teenage boy was violently attacked and sexually assaulted in the Paris suburb of Chennevières-sur-Marne over the weekend because he was in a relationship with a Turkish girl, according to French police and prosecutors.
The teenager, who is Franco-Turkish, told police that his girlfriend’s family did not approve of their relationship. “It didn’t please the father or the older brother of the girlfriend,” a source close to the investigation told Le Parisien.
The assault began around 10 p.m. on Saturday in the town of Noiseau. The victim was with a friend when two men arrived by car and forced both boys into the vehicle’s trunk. The victim immediately recognized the men as his girlfriend’s brothers.
They were taken to an industrial area in Chennevières-sur-Marne, to a business where the girl’s father works. There, the teenager was subjected to a brutal ordeal: He was beaten, sexually assaulted with a candle, and threatened with death.
His attackers filmed the abuse and warned they would release the footage if he continued to see the girl.
After the assault, the attackers drove the two boys to La Queue-en-Brie and released them. But instead of remaining silent, the victim and his friend went to the police station in Chennevières around 1 a.m. on Sunday and filed a complaint.
On Monday morning, officers from the Val-de-Marne territorial police arrested two suspects believed to be involved in the abduction and assault. The Créteil public prosecutor confirmed that the investigation has been assigned to the departmental security service.
Searches and further inquiries are ongoing. Police have not ruled out additional arrests.
