A 21-year-old woman fell victim to an attempted rape last night in Paris, according to the chief editor of Valeurs Actuelles, Amaury Brelet. A native of West Africa’s Ivory Coast is now under arrest for the crime. It is not known if he was on French territory legally.
The attack took place in the 19th arrondissement of Paris on the night of May 10, with 25-year-old suspect Ayouba S., born in the ivory Coast, found with his pants down and genitals exposed.
🔴 [Info @Valeurs] Une jeune femme de 21 ans a été victime d'une tentative de viol dans le 19e à Paris, cette nuit. Le suspect de 25 ans, Ayouba S., né en Côte d'Ivoire, pantalon baissé et sexe visible, a agressé la jeune femme en lui lançant "Je vais te baiser", puis a étranglé…

Shouting “I’m going to fuck you,” Ayouba S. then strangled the victim’s father, who had come running to her aid after hearing her screaming for help.
Police officers were called to the scene and arrested the offender, but not before local residents intervened and “nearly lynched the suspect” to ensure he was unable to flee the scene.
Cases involving brazen rapes involving Africans have plagued Paris in recent years, including the harrowing case of Claire Geronimi. In that case, Jordy Goukara confessed to raping both her and another victim in the space of just 45 minutes.
The case was shocking at nearly every level. The African, Goukara, already had 12 criminal convictions, including for sexual assaults, and had three deportation orders, none of which were executed.
The defendant, Goukara, has already confessed to the crime in the first day of court, saying that he has “uncontrollable sexual urges” and could not help himself from raping the women. He also stated that he masturbates 10 times a day.
Currently, the front runner for upcoming national election is National Rally (NR), which is promising to curb immigration and deport those illegally on French soil or found guilty of committing crimes while legally residing in France.
It appears, however, that the ruling establishment is looking to target Bardella as elections approach with the same type of case judges have used to remove Marine Le Pen as a candidate.
Meanwhile, France is having to deal with the recent measure by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to regularize what could end up being as many as 1.6 million illegals there, despite raging migrant crime, with concerns that those handed permits can then easily cross the border into France.
