A woman, aged 33, residing in Brest, France, and a mother of three children fathered by her own father, has been detained before trial for assaulting a public service officer, as confirmed by authorities.
The mother, who herself was a victim of long-standing abuse, was placed under judicial monitoring a month ago after her 58-year-old father, with whom she lived as a ‘couple’ and who is the biological father of her children, was imprisoned.
In the course of police inquiries, the man acknowledged sexually abusing his daughter and administering antipsychotic drugs to her. He also admitted to compelling his 11-year-old son to partake in sexual acts with the mother, exposing him to pornographic content.
The disturbing details emerged following a report by the Finistère Departmental Council about the abuses, triggering a police investigation. Testimonies from the children, an 11-year-old boy and his 8-year-old twin sisters, substantiated the claims, uncovering a history of abuse in a violent and aberrant household.
The children were placed in the care of social services, with the boy granted 30 days of temporary incapacity leave and the girls provided with eight days of care.
After her father’s arrest on November 26, 2025, the mother was charged with habitual violence and corruption of a minor but was initially put under judicial supervision. However, she has a record of violent incidents against public officials, including an assault on a court clerk during a juvenile court session two years ago, as reported by Ouest-France.
Her recent assault on an officer led to her being detained before trial at Brest prison, where her father is also incarcerated. The father is facing charges of aggravated incestuous rape, corruption of a minor, and habitual violence against minors. He has confessed to raping his daughter and coercing his son into sexual acts with her.
Both parents are considered innocent as investigations progress, but the case has garnered significant attention due to the heinous nature of the crimes and the abuse inflicted on multiple children within the same family.
Stéphane Kellenberger, the public prosecutor in Brest, stated, “The investigations are ongoing, with those charged remaining presumed innocent.” Authorities are continuing to delve into the full scope of the abuse and the context in which it transpired.
