Chloe Rodriguez, 15.
Updated at 2:45 p.m. ET Sunday: During the seven days that 15-year-old Chloe Rodriguez, of southern France, was held captive, she memorized details – her kidnapper, his car, its license plate -- but she did not try to defy the man's orders for fear of being killed, metrofrance.com reported.
Chloe was found in Germany, tied up in the trunk of a car Friday afternoon after police stopped her kidnapper during a routine traffic stop, RTL.fr reported. She had disappeared the week before, on Nov. 9, after leaving her home by scooter to go to a friend’s house.
Her scooter was found six miles away with her all belongings except for her helmet.
Chloe was hospitalized Friday after being found. Her parents told reporters that she is doing well, but that she has cried a lot, according to RTL, and that she was physically exhausted.
The kidnapper, described as a 32-year-old man from the Gard region in southern France where Chloe lives with her family, was detained at a German jail in Offenbourg.
According to local news reports, the man had been released from jail in September after being convicted in May 2009 of physically and sexually assaulting six women. Those women had been, like Chloe, traveling alone on the streets of their rural community, either by foot or bicycle.
Jean-François Corral, the suspected kidnapper's lawyer said, according to midilibre.fr, that he had undergone the recommended psychiatry in prison. But he did not check in with his probation officer after his release.
He explained how his client assaulted the six previous women: He would force the victims into his car and show them pornographic images while caressing them.
“Each time that a woman would fight him, he would go away,” Corral said, according to midilibre.fr. “But he never went to the end.”
Violette Rodriguez told reporters Friday that she was elated by the news. “Today is too beautiful. There will be two birthdays for my little Chloe,” she said in French.
She added: “This man who did her so much harm -- there is justice, and justice will be rendered. But I thank him anyway, because he kept her alive.”
Chloe returned home by TGV -- France's rapid train system -- Saturday after spending the night in Germany at the police station. In the car ride home from the station, her mother, Violette Rodriguez, covered her teen daughter with a blanket to protect her. They were escorted down a small rural road by a police motorcade.
Her father, Jesus Rodriguez, told reporters that his daughter told him that she never contradicted her captor and that she had come to understand his triggers, according to lexpress.fr.
"She told us that she was able to have a dialogue with this man, and that she obeyed all his orders," Jesus Rodriguez told reporters outside their home.
Cheers erupted in the village where the family lives. Residents were relieved after a week of combing the back roads and the many abandoned stone houses that make the region seem so picturesque and innocent.

This guy really should be put to death, but they don't kill rapists either (our Supreme Court outlawed it as "cruel and unusual").
Which part of "southern France" and "Chloe was found in Germany" did you not get?
Or was it that you thought that France and Germany are US states?
Kevin C wrote "THEY don't kill rapists either" and "OUR supreme Court". He clearly made a distinction between US and THEM. What part didn't YOU understand?
Fehlt dir was?
Oui!
Our supreme court didn't outlaw it as cruel and unusual for rapists. They decided, and probably wisely, that if a rapist will get the death penalty and so will a murderer what more would a rapist have to lose by murdering his victim and in fact might lose a witness to his terrible crime.
So blessed that she was found alive, if I had my way he would be hung and not by the neck.
Boom....epic fail.....and the 16 others who "liked" you.
Thank you tarheelfan and An Episcopalian, I DID get it.
@boom! reason, What a nice rude comment from a guy who failed reading comprehension. For the record, I have been to every state, and lived in Germany for two years while in the Air Force, so I have a "pretty good" idea where Germany is.
if this happened in america, she would've already been dead.
europe is pretty lax on prison sentences..... this guy got convicted of 6 rapes in 2009 and here we are 3 years later, trials, appeals, prison, psychiatric treatment all over and done and he's on the street doing it again....
he'd be in for 20 at least here.... or the father would shoot him a few times or run him down a few times
^ Way to post that on the internet retard
Here in Canada, our justice system is also lax on rape and sexual assault crimes as well. We have cases of people (like Graham James for example) guilty of hundreds of sexual assaults, and many do limited or no jail time.
These guys obviously need punishment, but the argument about life prison terms for these guys doesn't even need to be about punishment - because these guys don't feel that they've done anything wrong, and therefor don't feel any remorse or learn any lessons from punishment. Life terms simply need to be about protecting other people. These guys WILL re-offend if they are not in custody. These feelings are as natural for them, as hunger is for you and I.
This young lady is brave, brilliant and simply remarkable for doing what she needed to do in order to get through this ordeal alive.
The problem is summed up pretty clearly in this one sentence:
The guy had been found guilty of raping six women and was back on the street in a little over 3 years. This guy should have been locked up for far longer, then maybe this would not have happened. Here in the US, someone convicted of six rapes is going to be sentenced to more like 20-25 years in prison. The justice system in Europe is far too lenient with these types of crimes.
I don't have an naswer. There are these deranged and Evil males Around the World going after Women??!!??!! Are they genetically inferior or xyy or just born evil and sexist violent ?? And Germany has what we must have, A Universal National HealthCare System With complete Psychiatric treatment and authority which is by itself Enough to qualify and lock up these Nuts. It seems that these criminals are populated and dispersed by satan himself. One thing for sure, now We Know where "lady's HandGuns" Had their start. Women Must Protect Themselves and having a little .22LR automatic or revolver Immediately Available for a Women Was and IS a Good Idea. Blow his hootenannies off....If he has any..
Well, no excuses for deviants and crimes against women or children, but these sick people are conditioned, mistreated and socialized by someone. Ugly and nasty mothers and fathers create psychopaths that hate humanity and want to hurt and maim the weak. I believe would should put them down like rabid dogs, but that is a different issue. When you see or hear of children being mistreated step up just don't spout off on chat boards. These animals that hurt the young were not created in a vacuum.
Klansman- My advise to you is stop posting and hide! Pray no father ever finds out your identity.
From the sparse activity on "Klansmans" account I would guess he's a prison bitch who loses his privileges for posting his bile.
ADD TO IGNORE LIST
I have daughters and granddaughters and as far as I'm concerned sexual predators like this guy should be executed. My God this animal had already been convicted of assaulting six women. With a record like his civilized society should have the courage to remove people like him from the world permanently........ We have to except some people are not salvageable and for the greater good must be killed.
I'm so glad she was found before this creep could hurt her more than he already had. I'm very happy for the her and her family.
F Walsh; the only post that is based in wisdom and sound reasoning.
Why do so many people resort to their emotions when they post? Have you noticed that the articles on the MSN web page are now split - the hard news is now linked to MSN where as the majority of articles that incite emotions are now on nbcnews.com?
The MSN articles, we can't post on, so now I'm finding I have to go to Newsvines Home-page if I want to comment on hard news stories...bit of an adjustment when MSN.com has been your home page for many many years.
Here in the US, someone convicted of six rapes is going to be sentenced to more like 20-25 years in prison. The justice system in Europe is far too lenient with these types of crimes.
I wouldn't be so quick to pat ourselves on the back...there have been quite a few cases here where such "model citizens" were given early parole and put back on the streets, only to reoffend (Jessica Lunsford's death at the hands of John Couey, a previous sex offender, just to name one). If it can and does happen there, it does and can happen here too. Just because this isn't America doesn't magically immunize us from the evils of the regular world that we are a part of.
I also don't buy the "if its a capital offense, they'll kill their victims anyway because they have nothing to lose" argument. I highly doubt that someone who commits a crime will seriously fear or care about the consequences.
J_P_Patches, FWalsh,
Actually, capital punishment is not a deterrent for murderers. Most of them don't expect to be ever caught.
You should compare murder rates in the US to those in European countries, where they don't have death penalty.
Using the death penalty for crimes such as rape and kidnapping seems excessive to me. But the article states that this man was convicted of sexually assaulting 6 women in 2009, which is only 3 years ago.
So, one has to ask, in France, what manner of heinous crime must be committed before the perpetrator is sentenced to a long jail term?
This man should be in jail for a minimum of 20 years. Chances are he won't get more then 5 years, and be out in 3.
Even if France has lower violent crime rates that the U.S., this seems wrong to me.
Regardless, I am very happy to hear that this young girl was rescued alive, and that the kidnapper was caught. That is far from the usual result for such crimes, in any country.
these sick perverted animals, are never rehabilitated, they will always continue as long as they are not confined in a prison system; for some unknown reason our justice system continues on a vane attempt at rehabilitation , it is useless, they never ever change.
@Sam-1938777, there's no call to insult people that happen to be considered retarded. Klansman is a nasty waste of space and air. Retarded (or to be PC, special needs) individuals don't have hateful, nasty thoughts like those expressed by Klansman. Retarded people have a much better sense of fairness and equality than most "normal" people do.
Klansman is a troll, desperate for attention of any kind. He resides in his Mommy's basement. He's unremarkable in every way and so must post inflammatory remarks in order to get noticed.
Peter B; I think you need to re-read F Walsh's post - he said it is a good thing rapist don't get the death penalty.
I don't support the death penalty myself - I'd rather see them suffer behind bars, killing them would remove that suffering. People think everyone else fears death - I'd fear being alive knowing I'd never be free again more than dying. People always say suicide is the easy way out, if that is so, then so is the death penalty.
These deviant human predators cannot be rehabilitated, when they are caught they need to be put away from human society and NEVER released back into mainstream society - once they taste "sweet meat" the addiction begins and will always remain!
Some people are born sociopaths and some are made. They can not be rehabilitated and need to be taken out of our population one way or another. It is a psychiatric illness called Antisocial Personality Disorder and is the only mental illness that is completely untreatable. With other mental illnesses, the sufferer is able, at some point, to see that their actions in some way hurt themselves and/or others. But those with Antisocial Personality Disorder lack empathy and are willing to use others to gain anything they desire. Most of them are very charming and very good at fooling people... until someone gets in the way of what they want.
I'm curious why Kevin C-752389's comment was disabled by the community.
He specifically stated that France doesn't kill rapists, and we don't either. That statement is absolutely true.
But I believe that child predators (and Chloe qualifies...she's 15) should *absolutely* be a capital offense in any country, for which the death penalty should be firmly "on the table".
Cruel? Perhaps. Unusual? It would seem to me that letting scum like this take precious oxygen (and other resources) is far more unusual...and outrageous.
How many women are kidnapping men and putting them in the trunks of their cars, showing them pornographic pictures and fondling them (especially at 15-years old). Men seem to be the problem here.
And, please no funny comments as this is a serious issue for women.
ofcourseitsyou.
Did you see her picture? She is a beautiful young girl. I'm willing to bet you are not, not even close. I doubt highly that you EVER have to worry about that. It effects SOME women and it is a serious issue for them.
Keep telling yourself that anybody would want to victimize you, they would actually just turn and run.
Dr Alchemy,
Huh?!?
DrAlchemy.
You really believe that only attractive women get sexually assaulted? And even if it were accurate, what is the point of attacking OfCourseIt'sMe based solely on your totally imagined view of her attractiveness or lack thereof? If you don't like what she said about men being the problem, why don't you try to counter her position? (Maybe she overstated a bit by blaming the entire gender, but is she wrong that men commit the majority of sexual assaults?) The fact that the best you can come up, is that she must not be good looking so she should give up her desire to be raped, says a hell of a lot more than about you (and it's not good) than it does about her belief. It demonstrates a one-dimensional and twisted view of women that's part of the problem. Or maybe she just tweaked you and all you could come up with was an insult ...
Why are you calling it rape? Fondeling breasts without penetration is lewd and lesivious behavior , but its not rape.....Sexual assault it is but in US this guy would have saw very little time for that act....The kidnapping on the other hand, well......Seriously, read the article first...."
He would force the victims into his car and show them pornographic images while caressing them.
“Each time that a woman would fight him, he would go away,” Corral said, according to midilibre.fr. “But he never went to the end.”" Forcing them into his car may only have got him unlawful imprissonment instead of kidnapping as well......At any rate, he escalated and was caught....She is very lucky.....
I'm glad she was found alive. Had the crime carried the death penalty whether or not she was found alive, do you really think she would have been found alive?
Klansman... I''m guessing the only way you could have sex with any woman is to kidnap her. What a loser. You do know these boards are monitored, right? And they can easily locate you using your IP address and ISP... Hopefully, you'll be some black dude's bitch in prison. Have fun loser.
Klansman- I guess your not that smart are you.
Klansman
Read post 1.18, I was talking about jerks like you.
I am not pro-death penalty, but I am for keeping sickos like this in prison for life!!! He had been convicted for doing this to six other women before this girl, if he had never been paroled, this would not have happened!! I hope this girl can recover from this and lead a happy life, best wishes to her and her family.
If the penalty for the crimes he had been convicted for previously had been more severe, she never would have been abducted in the first place.
Someone should send her the Tragically Hip CD.
artsylady,
"I''m guessing the only way you could have sex with any woman is to kidnap her."
Klansman must be a cave man. Isn't that the cave man way? Club a woman over the head with your big wooden club and carry her off over your shoulder. This kidnapper must be a cave man, too. I hope they don't let him out of jail this time. He obviously has not learned his lesson.
Klansman, reading this and other troll-like posts made by you, I can't escape the suspicion that you are trying too hard to display your heterosexual orientation, or to paraphrase Shakespeare, "The troll doth protest too much, methinks.".
So which is your problem, Klansman, sexual impotency, or failure to deal with your true sexual orientation?
Either way, posting silly nonsense on the internet will not help you. Nobody is impressed ...or fooled.
Bet you don't realize how racist this sounds...why black? Would that be worse than white or brown? How about "Hopefully, you'll become some dude's bitch in prison"?
If the crime required the death penalty he would have not been released from prison in the first place. He would have never seen Chloe.
The name of this FERAL RAPIST IS KAMEL BOUSSELAT. KAMEL BOUSSELAT is a MUSLIM MALE WHO RAPES AND SODOMIZES (his demographic's preferred method of fornication) ONLY NON-MUSLIM FEMALES. Remember: He has committed the SAME CRIME 6 TIMES BEFORE! This is his MUG-SHOT and French news article associated with his monstrous crime:
h t t p://languedoc-roussillon.france3.fr/2012/11/17/le-gardois-kamel-bousselat-ravisseur-presume-de-chloe-refuse-de-parler-aux-enqueteurs-allemands-145224.html
Exactly why was this POS out on the street after being convicted of attacking and raping 6 women? That's less than 6 months per attack. Wouldn't a guillotine been more effective if applied the first time he was arrested? Of course if he is Muslim, this isn't even considered a crime under Sharia law. Under Sharia law, her father would be required to kill the girl.
Castrations would really discourage these animals,and a few years in with jail animals.
It is a shame justice cannot be brought upon him. A child molester doing this more than 6 times that they know of. I do not believe in peoples sick perversion's of prison rape. However, I do believe he should die to prevent a recurrence of his crimes that may include children that are very young. It might have already happened, we don't know if he did this 7 times or 70?
People who get trolled are worse than trolls themselves.
Um, folks, this did not happen in the US. Our laws are irrelevant. And that said, the laws of Western Europe, including France, are vastly more "pro-defendant" than anything the US has. He'll probably serve less than a year in prison, if anything. .... He should be locked up for life. But it won't happen. And more victims will suffer as a result.
Locked-up for life? Far too kind! No, the perp--a MUSLIM IMMIGRANT NAMED KAMEL BOUSSELAT-- should be judged by and sentenced according to his beloved Sharia Law: Kamel Bousselat's diseased weenie should first be severed from his worthless body with a blunt instrument, allowing him to bleed-out and expire.
MissCreancy - Just because someone identifies themself as a Muslim does not mean that they adhere to the teachings of any religion. Just like Christians in the U.S., the fact they commit a crime is proof enough that they do not follow the teachings of their religion.
She probably goes around saying Muslim is a violent religion. lol
This person seems to have no intention of living peacefully among the population. I hope the justice system takes that into account during his trial.
Castration of this sexual predator and 30 years of hard labor would discourage other would be violators..
While I agree shes cute...(she doesnt LOOK 15 or 14 or whatever) you're always gonna get this type of response on nbc boards. everyone so quick to "do the right thing" make themselves out to be moral and just and right.
Wow, what a lucky break that the case was uncovered during a routine traffic stop. Kudos to the German policeman.
The perpetrator appears to be a serial offender. Lock him up for life.
Six women! This Chloe was his seventh victim and he was released in September after being convicted of SIX RAPES in 2009. He did less than three years, less than six months per victim on average.
This is a TEXTBOOK case on why Judges should not have the ability or power to sentence felons and why we need mandatory minimums to keep these stupid criminal coddling liberal judges from endangering the public.
The man raped six women and a stupid liberal Judge thought he'd be reformed and safe to be on the streets inside of 36 months? Was the Judge even sober?
This is exactly why voters will not trust justices. They're candy ass criminal coddling worthless crap is why every time a minimum sentencing initiative is on the ballot, it passes.
Who on this planet would think that 3 years in jail is a fair sentence for kidnapping and raping 6 women? Apparently a stupid ass Judge did, and it's his fault that a 7th victim is under the rapist's belt.
when will society learn to protect women and children from these sick monsters. They never reform.
mandatory sentencing guidelines are terrible.... we've got some really harsh laws for non violent crime that end up in non violent people doing more than murderers....
guidelines need to be eliminated, they are just politicians trying to be ultra hard on crime and screw with the courts....
I think it's wrong that drug use gets more than murder and rape. I also think it is wrong that people get longer sentences for shooting dogs than people. That being said, the minimum sentences for those crimes should not be reduced below that of rapists and murders, but instead the minimum sentences for rape and murder should be raised.
It sounds like she's a girl from a small area. I hope the family is able to get her some good counseling and
she is able to lead a healthy life after such an ordeal.
You have to be the dumbest person alive. You do now this site and others like it are monitored and all your comments are being reported by everyone. Remember the lady on FB? Well your expressing your willingness and want to commit kiddnapping and rap of a minor.
Jesus, dear people, the jerk is craving for attention. Just ignore him.
Klansman is not a Klansman - he's just a harmless pimple-faced teenager looking for some cyber attention. Don't let his moronic posts get your undies in a wad.
Klansman,
Keep posting your comments - The FBI will come knocking soon - I promise!
His comments were collapsed but I could still read them if I clicked on to them. Why aren't they completely removed? And, doesn't his name, Klansman say a lot about who he is and his mentality? How do you flag someone here anyway? I belong to a couple of blogs and they have a special button on each comment that can be clicked on to that will report that comment/person. I too hope someone visits this cretin and checks into any missing girl in his area, but I seriously doubt he is the type to actually do anything. He's probably just as ultraman said.
As for this poor girl, she was wise beyond her years for knowing what to do to stay alive. I don't know about the laws in France, but if she's his 7th victim, he needs to be put away for good. He's a serial rapist and if he does get free again, I hope his next victim had either a big gun or a big knife so she can take care of his offending appendage so he won't ever be able to use it again to rape anyone else.
unfortunately,if it was in USA,she might not have been found Alive...
6 women =3 years; therefore, 1 girl must = 6 months. At 32 this guy has a lot of women left to go in his life.
Don't execute him. Tattoo "Rapist" across his face and castrate him.
Branding/Castration is a good idea. Anyone who thinks the American justice system is too lenient should go to Europe. The average sentence for murder is only 7 years with no death penalty.
So true about Europe and their justice system all over..look at that guy who killed 72 kids in Norway..max he could get is only 22 years..but as a mental case its life in a fruit-cake farm for him..if not nuts, he's out in 22 years!.
Plus no death penalty over the pond.
And people complain about the USA justice system!
Tell us again how mean we are to out prisoners France?
I'll start off by saying "in no way do I support this guy, I think he should be put away forever or put down". Now on the subject of the French or European judicial system because a lot of people here can't seem to differentiate. No where in the story does it say he was guilty of nine rapes in 1990. He was convicted of physically and sexually assaulting six women which as far as we know may have been grabbing butts in a crowded mall, who knows. The average sentence in France for "rape" is 10 -15 years and rape of a child is 30 years. There is also a sentence of "Indefinite" available in which the details of the case can't even be re-examined for a period of thirty years. So compare those with the American judicial system and see how well they stack up. And don't forget to factor in half sentences for "Good behavior" or early release because of over crowding.
They have done studies that prove castration only makes a rapist more violent and more likely to kill their victim. I read an article in the '80s about it. I used to think castration was a proper punishment until I learned that they could still rape women. Think about it- it is not a crime about sex but about power and dominence. A person can be raped without a penis being used. Repeat offenders need to be removed from the population permanantly. Of course that will never happen because criminals have more rights than potential victims.
rmb22,
"They have done studies that prove castration only makes a rapist more violent and more likely to kill their victim."
Hence the cry of the eunuch in Voltaire's Candide ou l'Optimisme: "Che sciagura d'essere senza coglioni!" ("What a shame to have no balls!"). It only increases the frustration.
That sounds like a great idea! So will you be the first to tattoo every bad thing you have done in your life, and lead by example?
But no really, great idea.
This perpetrator once more proves that there is no "cure" for his behaviors, crimes, or violence. He is a predator who will do whatever whenever the urge strikes him. He needs to be removed from society--permanently. In Europe, it's prison. Let's hope he gets a life sentence. He has proven that he has no control, nor wish for any, and he will do harm on every chance he gets.
Let's hope the Europeans aren't as dumb as we are here in the states, where lawyers say that these monsters had bad childhoods and single-parent homes; or they were bullied and couldn't cope; or any other sorry excuse that can be dreamed up. A monster is a monster, and this monster needs to go away, permanently.
Every human on the planet is a predator, that is why there is no cure for it. The difference between the guy in this story and most of the rest of us is that we have control of our predatory nature, he and people like him do not.
It might surprise people to know that castrating someone dose not take the predator out of them. It dose not solve the control issues. Yeah, keeping people in jail is one answer, but one reason why they do not do that in the EU is because they don't have the money to do it. Speaking of money to incarcerate... The US is out of cash for that sort of thing as well. You can bet that low level offenders and people who owe support will not be incarcerated that much longer in the US. There is simply no cash left to be spending 25 to 40k a year on ea prisoner.
Unless we are willing to put everyone to death for every offense, we better start getting serous about finding truly effective treatment for people that would otherwise go to prison.
Klansman i think your MOTHER used you up, I'd call you a prick but that is part of a man & you are not part man, you are scum.
klansman thinks he's funny and I will love to hear him use the "Freedom of Speech" defence soon since he's been reported here and on a internet sec site. His comments are concerning and disgusting.
Europeans are dumber than Americans, but not by much. Liberalism in Europe has completely undermined public safety as witnessed through this story.
Actually, william, crime rates in, for example, very liberal Scandinavian countries, are quite lower than in the United States, especially murder rates.
QE: Don't take "predator" out of context. This predator goes after women and children. I have no wish to hunt other humans to harm them. I find raping and harming others totally disgusting crimes. It's not a control issue, it's my humanity that I keep close to me.
Rape is not about sex. It's about power over others and control. You are correct to note that castration would not solve the problem. Removal from society is the only cure.
As for funding the removal, we really need to look back into our past to find more solutions to these issues. We used to have chain gangs that worked the highways breaking big rocks down into little rocks. In Texas and other states, they used inmates to work in the fields and harvest crops. Are license plates still being made in the prisons? I know some of our desk furniture is. I realize this equates to "slave" labor in some circles, but the offenders need to learn something important, like paying their own way with their own blood, sweat and tears--not mine.
Europe has monetary problems, just like the rest of the world; but mindsets will change someday and reality will come to the forefront. Paradigms have a way of changing overnight.
Yes, zapper, I've heard that many times before. But this is total nonsense, of course it is about sexual gratification.
As for removal from society, I couldn't agree more.
Can you vote up your own comment, cause if not then we have another sicko you like everyone of Klansman's comment.
Look at how predators chose their prey.If we did not maintain that instinct, then there would be far fewer of these types of situations. In society, we no longer hunt to survive, but for some, that instinct is still as strong as it would be in the "wild". We make a lot of mistakes in assuming that we are not still apart of the animal kingdom that we came from and the more we deny it, the more dumbfounded we get when we can not come up with civil solutions.
As to the imprisonment problem. Low level offenders and particularly those who are strung up for owning support will never pay for their own incarceration simply by working on farms and making plates, unlike in the past when prisons where cheaper to run. The base cost of a healthy prisoner is on average in most places 35k a year. This dose not include prisoners with medical issues that could cost the state 10s to 100s of thousands more a year. This cost makes sense for rapists and murders. It dose not make sense for forgers, bad check writers and people who owe support. Often times the punishment these lower level offenders get is life long. Problems finding high paying jobs and other liabilities of someone who was convicted of low level offenses are vary much punishment for these people.
When you add that prisoners can still chose not to work, you start to see the problem with mandated work in prison. I mean, really, what is the judge going to do if you refuse to work? Add more time? Well then, he is a drain on society for that much longer.
Okay. At least it isn't just the U.S. that short-sentences perverts. Even here in America I'd still have ask, convicted of assaulting 6 women but he's still out and about? Oh my.
Well the next time he gets out, we can only hope get gets some bleeding heart social welfare advocate who demands everyones rights.
having taken this women against her will into Germany and there he was caught I can tell you the Germans will be now not be to keen to see this man get away with some easy time in the weak French system. Having lived in France I know for a fact the Germans will come down hard on this dude and even if he is transported back to France there shall be German political pressue to put him away for a long time. Now the German people see this Franch man as a danger to them on their side of the line. Im sure they are screaming already
Thank the gods she was found safely. The way justice should be done. Glad she is recovering. Lock the scum up.
Say thanks to a god when this individual is put to death, until then thank this girl and her parents for having the wit and courage to keep herself alive.
I wonder, is there a possible solution for containing such predators? Most states don't allow a cat-o-nine tails whipping, I suppose executing them is considered outre? Why not turn them into steers? That can be done painlessly, save some sperm (on ice) in case some woman wants to have an offspring from such a porcine pundering plop of poop.
Lop off 1" for each rape. Bet it won't happen again.
I know right? Something has to be done with these horrible people. Six women? Um, doesn't seem like he should of ever been released into society. I'm glad she is alive. So scary.
The first lop should be deterrence enough if won't happen again. Especially if already circumcised. (nerve endings and all)
There is a history of false accusations, but if rape is actually taken seriously and and can be proven without a doubt (including DNA (don't send her the bill, she's been thru enough)) there should be at least a monitored drug regiment to basically render that "weapon" inoperable. That drug regiment would also help negate the control/violence tendencies.
Well... You can at least be glad the GOP is not in charge now.
Good point! After all, the Perp IS a MUSLIM. And Sharia Law loves to lop-off offending appendages! NBC is careful NOT to give the name, race, or picture of the Perp, so I most certainly will! The rapist's name is Kamel Bousselat. His many mugshots and prodigious rap sheet already are on file. This latest monstrous attack is his 6th! ALL of his victims were raped and SODOMIZED (a Muslim male's PREFERRED method of fornication)! His previous victims were ALL NON-MUSLIM FEMALES. (See a trend yet?) NBC's "in-depth" coverage of the victim, including name, age, demographic and large photo, IS REALLY CREEPY!. It's dearth of info on the perp IS STUNNING! In that NBC is incapable of outing the perp, here is the link to BOUSELLAT'S MUGSHOT and story (from the French media):

this is one of those situations where mob justice Should prevail, there is no question of being guilty and there is no indication of adjusting to be a socially acceptable person - let the mob do what they think is just, castration, death, who cares, he doesn't care about innocent beautiful people - have at him, mob!!!
I know this was over seas, but if you don't think this is a death penalty case, God help you. (I know it doesn't happen over there) And to those of you who don't think it should happen here either, Wake up!
No, God help you.
Pick a god... any god... man has invented plenty. Most of the are not down with this.
Especially Allah! According to Allah's will, RAPE & SODOMY of NON-MUSLIM FEMALES is perfectly within the purview of of Sharia Law. Ain't that convenient for Muslim Pervs?
It's great that she was found alive - really excellent. I hope she (and her family) can move on and have a good life.
Anything else - like the statements above - is just plain stupid. Very few (if any of us) know much about what might happen to the perp in Germany or France, and comments about the legal system there or here in the U.S. are ignorant and irrelevant. Just be happy she was found alive and saved - end of story. Nothing else matters right now.
These type are never rehabilitated. They just toe the line until they are freed into society again. In prison they hone their murderous skills and usually kill their victims. These men should be locked away forever so they cannot harm anyone else. Once again the Liberal way of life is proved wrong.
Lighter sentences over there for that type of crime, might be the reason some of the women are found alive. Here in the states they get killed so they can't identify the perpetrator.
they get killed because the perp gets off on killing them. Europe hasn't caught up with out twisted violent culture yet--but they're working on it.
I agree with you Bob. If I was to get life for a crime I committed, I would rather get death( I think, not sure) . Anyhow, dead woman don't tell no tale and so the American Law raised the bar.
And the French who do that get off alive but then they are at risk, because there is such a thing as "on the side" of Justice, which the French Justice system does not investigate much. It sort of goes, " he was a rapist, chit happens". Voila.
You can NOT rehabilitate a sexual predator.....but you can cut their balls off, lock them up and throw away the key.
So happy to know this girl is alive. I hope she gets all the support she needs and is able to spit on him as he walks, shackled, to jail.
Hopefully there will be more to this story as I would like to know why they decided to open the trunk. Whatever the reason I am sure glad they did.
OvertheRoad:
The article says:
"Chloe was found in Germany, tied up in the trunk of a car Friday afternoon after police stopped her kidnapper during a routine traffic stop."
Siobhan- does that mean they open the trunk at every single traffic stop? I'm not from France but they certainly don't do that in the US. I think OvertheRoad was wondering if the girl cried out or kicked the trunk.
I think the best punishment for this guy would be to force him to read all the commentary to all the news articles online all day every day for a few years.
A fate far too cruel to inflict on any criminal, even monsters such as him.
That man should never have been released from prison to begin with. God forbid we actually punish sexual predators like they deserve.
Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Why is it that such a violent horrible crime against a woman is punished so lightly?
I have to agree with dragonheart on this one. The "suspect" is convicted of raping SIX women, and gets only three years or so?
Do they not value women in France?
After raping six women, it's hard to believe the guy got anything less than life in prison with no parole.
its a european thing
