“Just hearing her voice, I feared the worst,” she says. “I thought my father, who suffers from respiratory issues, was seriously ill.”

However, her mother told her that she had spent an entire day at the Carpentras police station.

“Your father drugged me so that he and others could rape me. I saw pictures, they wanted to show me videos, but I couldn’t bear it.”
