A French court in Nice finds two men guilty in a case involving the livestreamed death of Raphael Graven, also known online as Jean Pormanove. According to reporting from both outlets, the men had subjected Graven to violence and humiliation over several days as he was filmed on his own live video stream. A lawyer for one of the accused says the death occurred in circumstances that appeared to involve Graven’s consent to being recorded. The Nice criminal court issues suspended jail sentences to both defendants on Wednesday.
Both sources describe the overall outcome as suspended terms rather than immediate imprisonment. They also agree on the core facts presented at trial: Graven is 46 years old, the acts were filmed and streamed, and the court convicts the two men of violence-related offences connected to his death. While details about specific charges and sentence lengths are not provided in the excerpts, the reporting is consistent that the court’s decision follows a guilty verdict in the case heard in Nice.
