False playboy tried for rape in Montpellier: “No mental illness” estimates the expert-psychiatrist – Midi Libre

-6:30 p.m .: “He seems very egocentric”

“He seems very egocentric. He would like to be as he was and is no longer” underlines the psychologist. He is in compulsive seduction, for which what is important is to possess the other, without necessarily going as far as having sex. “

The Advocate General: ” What pleasure can one have in seducing by proxy and pretending to be someone else? “

The psychologist : “He had access to women, or the bodies of women he would not have had access to otherwise. We are in immediate gratification. It is a compulsive seducer “.

The psychologist also puts in its rightful place the scenarios of the meetings, inspired by 50 shades of Gray: “There is no submission or domination. It’s a role-playing game in which everyone agrees. It’s staging, it’s theater. We are in the frame in the role of a consented role play. PFor it to work, both have to agree. “

-5 p.m .: the psychiatrist’s opinion on the personality of the accused

“There is nothing very particular”, indicates on the personality the doctor Patrick Saget, expert psychiatrist, who saw the accused again in October 2021 after a first expertise during the investigation. “There has been no deterioration since then, no loss of intellectual capacity,” he notes.

“This dossier asks many questions and does not provide many answers. There is a situational game which shows that he was able to put himself in a situation of submission of these victims. But the question for the psychiatrist is: what are the limits to sexuality? “

“Morality certainly has something to say, but the psychiatrist considers that libertines do not fall into the category of perverts.”

The president intervenes: “VYou use the term egocentric, perverse, manipulation, predation. At no time do you evoke empathy? “ The psychiatrist confirms and continues: “Internet makes it possible to threaten anyone by hiding under an avatar. This system makes it possible to camouflage things even more and to make them even more perverse and manipulative”.

The only certainty in any case: Jack Sion does not suffer from any psychiatric pathology which could have altered or abolished his discernment, and no mental illness seems to have prompted him to act.

The civil party insists: “Isn’t using a person’s submission or dependence as such a trait of evil? It is not because we slept with 350 people that we are perverse, but because we used a stratagem “.

“Sexuality remains something complicated. When it gets perverse, it’s tricky. I hear 350 victims. But how many complainants are there? “

Advocate General: “Qher relationship between Anthony Laroche and Jack Sion. Is it an avatar that he only used to favor these women, or could he identify with Anthony Laroche? “

“I exclude any psychiatric dissociation. Multiple personalities are a somewhat hazy concept that we find in American films, ”answers the psychiatrist.
