“She’s the one being condemned again”: 8 years after her rapist’s conviction, a young woman learns that he’s going to come and live near her.

Sentenced to 30 years in prison for raping Karine Jambu from the age of 5 to 7, Roland Blaudry will soon be released. His victim, now 29, has learned that he will be moving to Rennes, where she lives.

“He did this his whole life.” In 2018, Roland Blaudry was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the rape of Karine Jambu . The young woman, now 29, was first raped at the age of 5 in the family home where her parents were sheltering this repeat sex offender, fully aware of his history of indecent assault against minors. Until she was 7, Karine suffered multiple rapes at the hands of the man who claimed during his trial that he “didn’t think it was wrong ,” despite numerous reports to social services.

Eight years after her attacker’s conviction , Karine Jambu received a letter on April 29, 2026, informing her of his release on May 12, 2026. Worse still, she was also notified that he would be living in Rennes, where she resides . ” As the individual in question has no other address upon release and his prison sentence has expired, this situation could not be avoided, ” the judge responsible for the execution of sentences stated in a letter addressed to the young woman. “For me, it was conceivable that he would be released, at least initially, and even less so that he would come to live where I live, ” Karine Jambu lamented in a report broadcast on M6 on Tuesday, May 5, 2026.

“When I look at my 5-year-old daughter, I think to myself that at that age…”
This news was all the more difficult for the young woman to accept, as she is now the mother of a five-year-old girl . “When I look at her, I think to myself, ‘He started doing this at that age. It’s impossible, ‘” she told our colleagues at M6, expressing her dismay. For her, it’s inconceivable that Roland Blaudry could have changed: ” Why would he stop? ” According to the letter from the judge overseeing his sentence, “the individual’s dangerousness has been reduced by the work he has done in detention,” and he will be subject to “particularly enhanced” monitoring . According to our colleagues at M6, he does not plan to remain in Rennes.
