This BFMTV podcast episode centers on Karine Brunet Jambu, who says she was notified that her convicted abuser Roland Blodi would be released and allowed to live in Rennes, where she and her family live. The segment explains the legal basis for his release—confusion of sentences and sentence reductions—and follows her anger, fear, and sense that the justice system failed to protect victims.

The episode is framed as a testimony interview about a legal and human fallout: Karine Brunet Jambu says she learned through a late-April email that Roland Blodi, convicted in 2018 of raping and sexually assaulting her as a child, would be released on 12 May 2026 and placed in Rennes, where she lives. The opening emphasizes the shock of a short letter that, in her view, “va tout faire basculer,” and the rest of the conversation traces her reaction to that notification. The host, Pauline Revena, and journalist Charlotte Le Sage walk through the legal history. The transcript says Blodi was first sentenced in 2007 to 18 years for rape and aggravated sexual assault, then in 2018 to 30 years with a 20-year safety period. …
Near term, the decisive issue is whether the release placement and monitoring arrangement stay in place despite victim objections. The immediate risk is reputational and political pressure on the justice system if the Rennes placement is seen as too close to the victim and too permissive.
Over the next few weeks to months, this looks like a victim-protection and sentencing-policy controversy rather than a one-off case. The path to validation is clearer victim notification rules and stricter post-release placement logic; the view weakens if officials show the monitoring regime is genuinely effective and alternatives were unavailable.
The structural implication is that public trust in justice depends not just on release legality, but on whether victims believe the state can manage dangerous offenders without imposing ongoing trauma. If this kind of case keeps recurring, sentence-combination and victim-notification rules may face durable political pressure.
Karine Brunet Jambu learned by email that Roland Blodi would be released on 12 May 2026 and live in Rennes.
The opening sets out the content of the email and the release date/location.
Blodi’s release is explained as a legal confusion of sentences, where the later sentence absorbs the earlier one.
Charlotte explains the mechanism and how the 18-year sentence was absorbed by the 30-year sentence.
Karine believes the justice system should not grant sentence reductions or release leniency to repeat sexual offenders.
She explicitly argues there should be no reduction or second chance for such people.
Que ressentiez-vous au moment du verdict en 2018, lorsque Roland Blodi a été condamné à 30 ans de réclusion criminelle ?
Karine était soulagée parce que tout ce qu'elle avait vécu a été reconnu. Avant cela, elle avait pu dire plein de choses mais ce n'était pas forcément acté comme véritable. Elle s'est sentie reconnue comme victime et crue.
Qu'avez-vous ressenti en recevant le courriel en avril 2025 annonçant la libération de votre agresseur et son installation à Rennes ?
Karine était complètement perdue, s'est sentie toute seule dans sa voiture, et a senti un poids énorme tomber sur ses épaules. Elle s'est demandé ce qu'elle allait faire maintenant. Elle a eu très peur, était stressée, et n'a pas compris ce qui se passait. Elle a ressenti que la justice se fichait d'elle.
Comment avez-vous vécu le fait que la confusion des peines ait permis une libération après seulement 8 ans de détention ?
Karine trouve la confusion des peines inacceptable pour ce genre de personne. Elle estime qu'il ne devrait pas y avoir de remise de peine puisqu'il a fait plusieurs condamnations pour la même chose, avec plusieurs victimes. Selon elle, la justice doit dire stop à ces personnes qui font des choses atroces aux enfants — on sait qu'ils vont recommencer, c'est leur fonctionnement.
