Francis Evrard

Francis Evrard (born July 12, 1946) is a French-Belgian serial rapist and pedophile, whose rise to notoriety came following his 2007 abduction, kidnapping and rape of a 5-year-old boy from his hometown of Roubaix, in Nord.

Evrard worked as an apprentice when he was 15–16 years old, in a school specializing in lightning equipment, but only for a few months, as he was dismissed for "lack of seriousness".

After release, Evrard left for Belgium, where he was arrested for carrying a plumb revolver and concealing burglary material, then emptying the poor boxes of churches.

In 1975, he was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment for sexual violence against a minor, as judged by the cour d'assises of Douai in the North.

Evrard then led him to a storage unit he rented, proceeding to drug and sexually abused the child.

This case helped fuel the debate on recidivism, monitoring and hormonal treatment of sex offenders in France.
