Overview
- Prosecutor Olivier Rabot said the 46-year-old was indicted for importation, possession and acquisition of pornographic images or representations of a minor and was placed in detention.
- The man told gendarmes he had bought two sexual dolls of childlike appearance on Shein, with purchases he dated to July and October 2025.
- A search of his home uncovered suspected child‑pornographic images on electronic media that are now being examined by investigators.
- The Paris prosecutor’s office has opened a separate probe into the sale of childlike sexual dolls on Shein and AliExpress.
- La Voix de l’Enfant says it has filed a complaint against Shein and intends to join the case as a civil party, as French law sets penalties up to five years in prison and a €75,000 fine for such offenses.
