Overview

• The cour criminelle de Paris began hearing the case Wednesday against Jordy G., accused of raping Claire Geronimi at knifepoint in the hall of her building on November 11, 2023.
• The 27-year-old man from the Central African Republic is reported to have 11 prior convictions and to have been under multiple OQTFs at the time of the attack.
• Geronimi says the suspect also raped another young woman, identified as Mathilde, about an hour before her assault using the same method.
• The proceedings are scheduled through Friday, and Geronimi notes the charge carries up to 20 years in prison although sentence reductions could shorten time served.
• Now a UDR vice president and founder of Éclats de femme, Geronimi backs a bill to allow state liability when an assailant is under an OQTF and criticizes gaps in post-assault support for victims.
