Suspecté de sévices sexuels sur des chèvres et des moutons, un homme arrêté près de Marseille
Since the beginning of the year, owners of sheep and goats in the region had repeatedly noticed that their animals were found injured.
A 19-year-old man was apprehended by the Anti-Crime Brigade (BAC) on Thursday night. He is suspected of having committed several sexual assaults on goats and sheep in the town of Pennes-Mirabeu (Bouches-du-Rhône), according to the local newspaper La Provence.
Since the beginning of 2026, owners of sheep and goats in the region had repeatedly found their animals in poor condition, showing signs of sexual abuse, including bloody vulvas and tied legs, thus ruling out the possibility of attacks by other animals.
Spotted by cameras
Faced with this situation, the owners installed trail cameras, which revealed the presence of a young man. Thanks to this footage, the Anti-Crime Brigade (BAC) was able to identify and arrest a suspect matching the description obtained from the video surveillance system. The young man, an Afghan national, was taken into custody and is expected to be prosecuted for animal cruelty.
