Why It Matters

The death of 11-year-old Lyhanna, whose body was found on June 4 in the Gers region, has brought to light the numerous pedocriminous and judicial traces left by the suspect, Jérôme Barella. The US organization NCMEC had previously sent several reports about him to the French Office mineurs.

L’onde de choc de la mort de Lyhanna, 11 ans, dont le corps a été retrouvé le 4 juin dans le Gers, fait remonter à la surface les très nombreuses traces pédocriminelles et judiciaires laissées par le mis en cause, Jérôme Barella, au cours de son parcours. Le Monde est en mesure d’établir, de sources concordantes, que le comportement en ligne de l’intérimaire de 41 ans avait alerté jusqu’aux Etats-Unis. En effet, l’organisme américain NCMEC (National Center for Missing and Exploited Children) a transmis, avant l’affaire Lyhanna, plusieurs signalements le visant à l’Office mineurs (Ofmin), le service en pointe de la direction nationale de la police judiciaire pour lutter contre les violences sexuelles faites aux mineurs.

C’est encore un voyant allumé par les agissements de Jérôme Barella, mis en examen et écroué à ce stade pour « enlèvement et séquestration » de la collégienne dans le Gers, qui pose la question de toutes ces informations dispersées le concernant, empêchant les enquêteurs d’appréhender pleinement sa dangerosité.

Open Questions

  • Why were previous warnings about Jérôme Barella not fully acted upon?
  • What specific online behaviors alerted the NCMEC?
  • How will the scattered information about Barella be consolidated for the investigation?
  • What are the full extent of Barella's alleged crimes?
