Complaint from Judith Godrèche: a new director in turmoil
Complaint from Judith Godrèche: a new director in turmoil – (franceinfo)
After filing a complaint for rape against director Benoît Jacquot, actress Judith Godrèche also filed a complaint against filmmaker Jacques Dillon. She accuses him of having sexually abused her on several occasions when she was 15 years old.
At 51, Judith Godrèche lifts the veil on the sexual abuse of which she says she was a victim as a minor. Two complaints against two filmmakers: Benoît Jacquot and Jacques Doillon. In 1986, Judith Godrèche met Benoît Jacquot for a casting. She is 14, he is 39. Their relationship also develops outside of the film sets. The actress recounts six years of a relationship under influence: “Sexual abuse and sexual sadism immediately”from the age of 14.
An open investigation
At the same time, in the 80s, she also questioned the behavior of director Jacques Doillon. She accuses him today of rape and sexual assault during the filming of the film “The Fifteen-Year-Old Girl”, in which she plays the main role: “Suddenly, he decides that there is a sex scene between him and me. And there, we do 45 takes. I take off my sweater, I’m shirtless, and he gropes me.” An investigation has been opened against the two filmmakers who firmly deny it. As the facts took place more than 30 years ago, they would a priori be prescribed.
