On the eve of the release of her comic book, Héloïse Martin was the guest of Julien Sellier, Isabelle Choquet and Cyprien Cini in RTL Good evening. The opportunity for her to reveal new details concerning her attacker sentenced to 18 months suspended prison sentence few years ago.
“I don’t call it a conviction”she explained before adding: “I have been saying for a very short time that he was convicted, but a few months ago I was still saying that he had not been convicted because he did not serve any prison time.”

In addition to this sentence, Héloïse Martin’s uncle was also forced to pay “3000 euros compensation“. A sum to which the now 27-year-old actress has never attached any importance. For her, “Money has no value.” “He has kept the same life as before, he has a little girl who is 10 years old today. For him, life has not changed, he has kept his family and he is still invited to family celebrations “she clarified before returning to the comments of those close to her.
“I was once told: ‘You should have the intelligence to move on, there are more serious things in life’. For them we cannot call it rape because it is not a sexual penetration is digital penetration and there is a barrier, a huge difference. Today I’m fine, I smile all the time so they don’t understand that the injury exists. I see that the danger is still present”. Disturbing confidences.
