Sweet Lisa admires someone and explains why...

I don’t know if you already heard about the person I admire but you must have, because the Medias talked a lot about him two years ago.

 

Let me introduce him and his story to you.

 

His name is Loïc Sécher. In 2003, a teenage girl pretty confused at that time, accused him of rape, he has been condemned for sixteen years in prison.

 

During seven years, he tried to make people understand that he was innocent, but no one believed him until the girl who blamed him finally admit the truth: no one had raped her, she had invented this story because she felt bad in her body and her teachers were worried about her so they asked her what was wrong with her.

 

She didn’t know how to explain it, so she just said that she had been victim of sexual violence.

 

When the teachers asked her who it was, she described a man, who doesn’t even exist but who, as her description, looked like Loïc Sécher, her neighbor.

She didn’t want to be seen as a liar, so she officially accused him.

 

But in 2008, seven years later, she felt too guilty so she admitted the truth.

Loïc Sécher was released two years ago.

 

When he finally got out of jail, he met the young girl who made him spend seven years in prison.

But he was absolutely not mad at her even though he had no money because of the costs he had to pay to the justice, even if his father died while he was confined, even if his family was ashamed, he forgave her.

 

That’s exactly what I admire about him; he had the strength, the bravery to forgive this girl who ruined her life.

He lived in hell for nothing during seven years, and he still stays calm when people talk to him about this part of his life.

I admire him because I could never forgive someone who would make me go through all of it.

I would probably want to get revenge but he doesn’t.

 

I wonder how you guys would have reacted if you were in his case…?
