“I would have done like her”. It is a small sentence that you have surely seen pass in recent days. However, the story of Priscilla Mayani is nothing new, but has recently received renewed attention, and above all support, especially from actresses and activists against incestuous violence such as Andrea Bescond and Corinne Masiero.
On 23 November 2022, Priscilla Majani was sentenced on appeal in Aix-en-Provence for “false and slanderous reporting, embezzlement and under-presentation of minors”. He risks five years in prison, four of which are suspended.
Priscilla Majani case: a race to protect her daughter
The facts date back more than ten years ago: in February 2011, Priscilla Majani disappeared while fleeing abroad with her 5-year-old daughter Camille. She accuses her son’s father of rape and sexual assault. The complaint was filed a few months earlier, especially as the tone of the child is judged “recitative” during the hearings, as well as for the absence of physical traces of sexual violence. The father categorically denies the facts.
Priscilla Majani is denied sole custody of Camille. Faced with the decision not to prosecute her ex-spouse, her mother will choose to flee to protect her daughter. Indeed, if she refused to leave her child with her ex-partner, she would be to blame and she would be exposed to prosecution.
By orchestrating her escape and disappearing with her daughter, Priscilla Majani will be targeted by several international arrest warrants. In March 2022 she was arrested in Switzerland during a traffic check and deported back to France. She was tried in September in Toulon.
A new complaint against Camille’s father
Today Camille, the daughter of Priscilla Majani, is 17 years old and has filed a complaint against her father in Switzerland for allegations of psychological, physical and sexual violence Humanity. She reports experiencing beatings, food deprivation, touching and penetrating sexual acts before age 5.
Lawyers for both sides believe Camille was manipulated. That of Alain Chauvet, Camille’s father, bases her defense on the fact that the latter would be a victim of parental alienation syndrome, a recurring argument to discredit the ex-spouse in disputes over the custody of her children. He is often part of the strategy of abusive fathers to gain custody despite the violence against their children.
A petition has been launched to ask for the release of Priscilla Majani. The verdict will be pronounced on January 4. Meanwhile, the case of Priscilla Majani has been heavily relaunched on social media through the sentence “I would have done like her” by many personalities and anonymous.
A sign of solidarity, a symbol of distrust of justice that sometimes fails towards the victims of sexist and sexual violence, starting with the most vulnerable.
