A dismissal confirmed on appeal
As a reminder, following Sand Van Roy’s complaint for rape against the filmmaker on May 18, 2018, a dismissal of the case was pronounced in December 2021, then confirmed by the Court of Appeal in May 2022. A consolation for the 64-year-old man who was targeted by the Belgian-Dutch actress in full movement #Metoo. His wife, Virginie Silla, had also expressed her relief to our colleagues at Paris Match at the time.
“I knew that Luc had neither raped nor drugged anyone. I know him too well”, she confided. And to conclude by addressing Sand Von Roy:“How could such a confabulator be able to waste the police and justice system’s time to this extent? I find it revolting that a woman confiscated the noble and necessary cause of real rape victims to settle personal scores and attempt to destroy a man and a family..”
