Rosa’s mother responds emotionally to the fundraising campaign for the lawsuit against the state, which stems from the rape allegations against Jerome Barrera.

Fleurence – June 16, 2026: The mother of 12-year-old Rosa from the Gers department in France is suing the state after Jérôme Barrella was seriously accused. Barrella is suspected of repeatedly raping Rosa. The woman accuses the authorities of serious negligence because, since the report against Barrella in August 2025, the investigation has not started and Barrella has not been summoned.

Rosa reported multiple times that she was sexually assaulted at the defendant’s residence. The case only gained widespread public attention after the body of 11-year-old Leanna was found on June 4, 2026, and Barrella was subsequently arrested. Leanna became a victim of a crime, and the case reignited fierce debate about how the justice system handles such cases. Barrella is not only involved in Leanna’s death case but is also accused of harming Rosa.

Rosa’s mother is emotionally moved by the large support received through public fundraising. This support has strengthened her fight for justice and also expresses important social solidarity. The lawsuit aims to hold the relevant authorities accountable for alleged negligence and to expose systemic flaws that led to delayed responses.

The public has expressed anger over the accusations against Barrella through donations and encouraging messages, while also criticizing the handling of this sensitive investigation. The mother emphasizes the importance of this support for the progress of the case and hopes that her actions will promote improved treatment of sexual violence victims in France.

The cases of Rosa and Leanna reveal possible negligence issues in the justice system in handling sexual violence reports. Discussions about necessary reforms are taking place on social and political levels to prevent similar tragedies from happening again and to better protect victims.

Rosa’s mother gratefully accepts the community’s support. She sees this lawsuit not only as an effort to seek personal justice for her daughter but also as an opportunity to raise public awareness about the urgency of combating sexual violence. This initiative has received wide public attention, calling for change and empowering victims with a stronger voice.
