A woman, aged 33, residing in Brest, France, who has 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 endured years of abuse, was under judicial supervision after her 58-year-old father, with whom she lived as a ‘couple’ and who is the biological father of her children, was imprisoned a month earlier.
Following police investigations, the man confessed to sexually abusing his daughter, including drugging her with antipsychotic medication. He also admitted to coercing his 11-year-old son into engaging in sexual activities with the mother while exposing him to pornographic material.
The disturbing situation came to light after the Finistère Departmental Council reported the abuses, triggering a police inquiry. Testimonies from the children, an 11-year-old boy and his eight-year-old twin sisters, supported the allegations, exposing years of abuse in a violent and deviant household. The children were taken into care by social services, with the boy granted 30 days of temporary incapacity leave and the girls eight days.
The mother, after her father’s arrest on November 26, 2025, was charged with habitual violence and corrupting a minor but was initially released under judicial supervision. However, she has a history of violence towards public officials, having reportedly assaulted a court clerk during a juvenile court hearing two years ago. Her recent attack on an officer led to her being placed in pre-trial detention at Brest prison, where her father is also detained.
The father is facing charges of aggravated incestuous rape, corruption of a minor, and habitual violence against minors. He has admitted to raping his daughter and coercing his son into sexual acts with her. Both parents are considered innocent until proven guilty as investigations progress, but the case has garnered significant attention due to the severity of the crimes and the abuse of multiple children within the same family.
“The investigations are ongoing, and those accused are presumed innocent,” stated Stéphane Kellenberger, the public prosecutor in Brest. Authorities are continuing to investigate the extent of the abuse and the circumstances surrounding it.
