Patrick Bruel charged with rape and released under judicial supervision
Patrick Bruel, a 67-year-old singer and comedian, has been charged with rape and sexual assault. This judicial decision follows complaints filed by several women.
The artist, a popular figure for four decades, was taken into custody on Monday. He left Nanterre courthouse on Wednesday evening, free but under judicial supervision. The prosecution had nonetheless requested his remand in custody, but this request was not granted.
The case began with accusations of alleged rapes committed between 2008 and 2019. Further complaints may follow. The singer denies the allegations against him.
This charging marks a turning point for the artist who has long cultivated an image as a seducer, notably carried by the "Bruelmania" of his early years.
