The facts reported here are particularly serious. HA, 35 years old and father of two children, is being prosecuted for aggravated violence against his minor son.
The facts reportedly date back to October 14, 2024: the child's mother contacted the authorities to report violence by the father against her son, whom he allegedly hit several times with a stick. A medical certificate attests to bruises on his right forearm. A serious situation, aggravated by a context of long-standing violence. The 7-year-old boy allegedly made disturbing statements to the psychiatric expert: “Sometimes, my father lets me sunbathe as a punishment. He was also extremely violent with my mother.”
A traumatized child, or rather two, if we count the 3-year-old sister, who also seems to be enduring the same abuse. During the hearing, it was the defendant's bad faith that shocked the court. He denied the charges against him outright, which he simply described as punishment, "like all parents do." He also mentioned an attempt by the mother to alienate the child as a parent.
Outraged, the victim's lawyer and the deputy prosecutor denounced the accused's perfidy and the cleverly orchestrated evasion of responsibility. HA based his defense on a date error: the events could not have taken place on October 14, since he had an alibi. They were actually reported on October 9 for acts committed on the 7th. A procedural error that worked in his favor, rendering the judgment null and void and canceling the proceedings. Despite the acquittal, the deputy prosecutor indicated that she would refer the matter to the family court judge to protect these children from obvious danger. _LA
