What was initially an assumed affair turned into a nightmare… On October 30, 2021, a young woman filed a complaint against Ary Abittan for rape. On November 2, we learned that the actor was indicted and placed under judicial supervision. Heard for 5 hours by the courts on February 24, 2022, he has however still not been confronted with his accuser, a woman with whom he had an affair while he is in a relationship with Sarah-Line. What prevent the two ex-lovers from moving forward in life.
This is the magazine Audience which echoes the slowness of justice in this case where Ary Abittan denies the charges by evoking a consensual sexual relationship while the complainant claims to have been the victim of non-consensual sodomy – she was seen by a doctor and had several days of ITT – after a first report with which she however agreed. “He was expected to face his accuser at the end of May. It has not happened“says the magazine, a source familiar with the matter. The cause of such a delay? Psychological expertise that would have taken a lot of time. “It was impossible to stall anything before the summer“, releases a source.
Meanwhile, Ary Abittan – who has changed apartments in Paris – is therefore forced to bite the brakes. Professionally, everything is at a standstill for him, he did not take part in any promotional event during the release of several films in which he was showing such as The Good God 3 or soon Ducobu president!. His new show also remains on hold. Will he be able to present it one day on stage? This period is difficult to live for the artist that Audience described as in full “depressed“. No doubt he hopes that his confrontation with the young woman can turn in his favor. This one would be in an even worse state. “As soon as we discuss the affair with her, she breaks down in tears. She’s on edge, she can’t get up the slope“, assures one of his friends to the magazine.
Ary Abittan remains presumed innocent of the charges until the final judgment of this case.
