Whereas according to the interrogation report in the event of flagrante delicto of

These facts are provided for and punished by articles 355-3 and 359 in fine of the
penal code.
Whereas it results from the preliminary investigation report of the fourteenth of
May two thousand and twelve that G.R lodged a complaint against K.K, whom she
accused of having committed an indecent assault perpetrated on his three-yearold daughter G.C.
That in support of her complaint, she made known that one day earlier, K.K went
to his shelter and was served a bottle of beer by K.J joined shortly by his daughter
G.C.
That after a few sips of alcohol, K.K sent K.J to buy him something to eat in a
restaurant located not far from his shelter.
On his return, he was amazed to find that G.C was sitting on the legs of K.K who
was kissing her after having rolled up to her knees the panties she was wearing,
while the fly of his pants was pulled down.
