I spent a year at the police academy, where it went very well. And then I was assigned to a police station, before asking to change brigade for personal reasons. When I joined this brigade in February 2012, it began with sexist remarks, inappropriate or even raw. I had the misfortune, one day, to put lipstick. He told me that I was 'naughty'.

He threatened to report on my work, which has always been very well done. I have always been professional. That's what my supervisors said when they were auditioned. He was using it to keep me quiet. He called me 'good for nothing'. I was so scared for my career because the policeman job was the one I coveted. My future was all traced. I gritted my teeth and let it go.
A first complaint dismissed
I did not denounce these attacks immediately. It took me a year to file a complaint, while I was on sick leave right after the fact. It was during a hospitalization that I revealed what had happened. I filed a complaint in May 2013, dismissed in December.
The case was then resumed. In February 2018, his supervisor was sentenced to three years in prison, including one year in prison, with a duty to care and a ban on his practice. He appealed, which has a suspensive effect.
I am angry at justice. First, I have no protection. He can kill me tomorrow if he wants to. I tell myself that it is not possible that he can continue to practice. I do not understand this system whereas me, I galley to rebuild and relive. Today is survival. It touched everyone, my family, my friends ... Currently, I am hospitalized. I have ups and downs. I have a lot of supports that help me focus on a future, but I find it hard to mourn the profession. "
