In Brest, France, a 33-year-old woman with three children fathered by her own father has been placed in pre-trial detention for assaulting a public service officer, as confirmed by authorities.
The mother, who herself suffered years of abuse, was put under judicial supervision recently after her 58-year-old father, who had been living with her as a ‘couple’ and is the biological father of her children, was imprisoned.
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 to engage in sexual activities with his mother while exposing him to pornographic material.
The disturbing revelations emerged after the Finistère Departmental Council reported the abuses, prompting a police inquiry. Interviews with the children, an 11-year-old boy and his eight-year-old twin sisters, supported the allegations, uncovering a history of abuse in a violent and abnormal 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.
After her father’s arrest on November 26, 2025, the mother was charged with habitual violence and corruption of a minor but was initially released under judicial supervision. However, due to her history of assaulting public officials, including an incident two years ago where she reportedly attacked a court clerk, she has now been placed in pre-trial detention at Brest prison following another assault on an officer.
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 proceed, but the case has garnered significant attention due to the severity of the crimes and the abuse of 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 circumstances surrounding it.
