Mother saw ex-husband abuse her daughters, trial told

A leading suspect in France’s massive paedophilia case testified today that she saw her ex-husband and former father-in-law sexually abuse her daughters as well as other children.

The woman identified only as Patricia M is herself accused of sexually abusing, corrupting and prostituting children. She is one of 66 defendants on trial for alleged involvement in the rape, sexual abuse and prostitution of children – some too young to walk.
