A 47-year-old man has been arrested near Lyon in central France on suspicion of harassing members of the police and gendarmerie, especially women, by making 27,000 phone calls between April and May, police said on Friday.
“This person who was found in a hotel on the outskirts of Lyon, where he was arrested on Wednesday morning, is” very unfavorably known “to justice” for similar acts “.
Between April 7 and May 18, the man called 14 police and gendarmerie services in the country, making “sexually explicit comments on female employees, insulting them in some cases.” Thirty-four victims have been recorded in this case.
Acknowledging his actions, but without being able to explain them, the 47-year-old is expected to be brought before the prosecutor of Lyon today.
