Actress Judith Godrèche told France Inter that she filed a complaint on Tuesday February 6 against director Benoît Jacquot for “violent rape of a minor under the age of 15”, confirming information from Le Monde.
The actress has spoken in recent weeks about her relationship with the director 25 years her senior, when she was a teenager. In her series “Icon of French Cinema”, broadcast at the end of 2023 on Arte, the director first mentioned this relationship, but without ever explicitly calling Benoît Jacquot into question.
It was finally on social networks, on January 6, that Judith Godrèche named him. “The little girl in me can no longer keep silent about this name”she then wrote on Instagram, denouncing “the influence” that he had exercised on her when she had “14 years old”.
