The allegations against Bruel keep piling up.
Better late than never: the French Republic is undergoing a painful purging process as the once-untouchable stars from the Cinema, Music and Fashion are starting to get their comeuppance.
This time, the once-beloved French singer-actor Patrick Bruel has been detained by police, after several women accused him of rape and other sex crimes.
Daily Mail reported:
“Bruel was taken into police custody after more than 30 women came forward and claimed he had sexually assaulted them.
The 67-year-old is now under investigation for allegations of rape, attempted rape, sexual assault and harassment against 13 of those women, the Nanterre prosecutor’s office said.”
The incidents are alleged to have taken place from 1997 to 2012 in France and Belgium.
Investigators will also probe ‘acts of rape or attempted rape, sexual assault and harassment’ reported by other women.
“Bruel, one of France’s best-selling musicians, has denied any wrongdoing. Authorities are able to hold him for 24 hours for questioning, which can be renewed one time.
Bruel wrote in a social media post last month: ‘I have never forced a woman. I have never drugged, manipulated or looked for anyone to submit. Nor have I ever drugged, manipulated or tried to subjugate anyone… nor used my fame to abuse or obtain non-consensual relations. […} If I hurt anyone, I sincerely regret it’.”
