Paris Court Sentences Jordy Goukara to 18 Years, Imposes Lifetime Ban From France

The verdict reflects findings of high recidivism risk after experts ruled him criminally responsible.

Overview

  • The Paris criminal court convicted the 27-year-old on September 26 for two daytime rapes committed on November 11, 2023, in separate building halls against Mathilde, 19, and Claire Geronimi, 26.
  • Judges added a definitive ban from French territory to the 18-year prison term, and the defendant has ten days to appeal.
  • Court-appointed psychiatrist Dr. Roland Coutanceau excluded any mental pathology, stating the accused was fully accessible to penal sanction.
  • Prosecutors described his danger as intact due to the risk of reoffending, and the court reached its decision in under an hour.
  • Goukara had multiple prior convictions and was the subject of three unenforced removal orders issued in 2020, 2021, and 2023.
