Purveyors of dreams, the major animation studios employed a creator of nightmares: a French graphic designer is referred to court for having sponsored sexual violence against young girls in “live streaming”, reveals Le Figaro in an article published on October 10, 2024 .
This 59-year-old artist, who notably worked on blockbusters Ratatouille, The Incredibles or Up therewas “spotted” by Interpol in 2019, after suspicious movements of funds to the Philippines where the phenomenon of “live streaming” rape is particularly active.
Before his arrest, reports Le Figaro, the host regularly connected to a site which allowed him to access private conversations in the presence of little girls. The man then “ordered” sexual abuse of the child, which their parents carried out in exchange for money.
The one who describes himself as “a real pedophile” has since admitted to having been aware that the little girls were “frightened”, sometimes crying, relates the moving article. “I should end my days in prison,” he declared, “because it’s horrible to take advantage of people’s (material) weakness to hurt children.” »
