"After a five-month trial, the jury sent three repeat offenders to prison for between 26 and 28 years. Other suspects were handed sentences ranging from six months suspended to 18 years in jail." A 28-year prison term was given to Philippe V, 59, who had already served a 13-year term for child abuse and was described by prosecutors as an "indifferent monster" who had, over the years, raped his daughter, son and four grandchildren. He told the court that he "couldn't give a toss" about his offspring. Eric J, an alleged ringleader, was convicted of raping 15 children and also given 28 years. The majority of the abuse sessions took place in the apartment of Franck and Patricia V, Philippe V's son and former daughter-in-law, with whom he was living. Franck V, 36, was sentenced to 18 years for the rape of 14 children, including his own two daughters and young son. Patricia, 32, his now ex-wife, was found guilty of raping one of her daughters and of prostituting her other two children, and was given 16 years

The victims, 26 girls and 19 boys, now in care or living with foster parents, had simply been "demolished", lawyers said. Some barely speak, or scream when approached by strangers; one girl was forced to perform oral sex so often that she cannot eat in the company of adults. Another, identified only as Marine, was raped by 45 people including her father. yes, the children are freed and live w. foster parents. all information from http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2005/jul/28/france.jonhenley The abuse came to light five years ago when a 16-year-old girl told a social worker she had been raped by her mother's boyfriend and his brother.
