This Wednesday April 19, 2023, Yaniss, a 28-year-old escort-boy, is appearing at the Paris Criminal Court for “blackmail”, reports The Parisian. The young man is accused of having tried to extort money from the 55-year-old comedian, playwright, director and actor, Pierre Palmade. According to information from our colleagues, the one who called himself “Aroun” to his “clients” wanted “monetize the images of the naked artist at home and in the middle of drug injection”.
Michèle Laroque’s sidekick had denounced the actions of the man he had met on an application “with a view to an agreed paid sexual relationship”. The situation had ended up degenerating after several appointments. Driven by the lure of profit, the escort-boy would have threatened the star to whom he had promised to reveal a compromising video if he did not receive the sum of 4000 euros.

Arrested in January 2023 at the Gare de Lyon, the young man admitted consensual sexual relations as well as blackmail, but in turn accuses Pierre Palmade of fraud. “I didn’t want to sell off my body, he owed me money for the night spent with him. He treated me like a whore”he would have explained during his police custody, according to The Parisian.
“He rents his body for 150 euros an hour, not 150 euros a night. Besides, who can imagine such a price? The feeling of this young man in this case is to have been used, humiliated, dirty, belittled. Yes, he is responsible for blackmail, but he is not totally responsible for this story that turned out badly. Mr. Palmade knew the rate of 150 euros per hour for sexual services. He spent hours and hours with Mr. Palmade”also declared the lawyer of Yaniss, Maître Carmelo Vialette.
And to conclude: “It’s the story of poor lives that meet. In this case, no one can drape themselves in a white cloth. My client is homeless, he is alone, without any family. He was raised in his childhood by foster families. And, cult, to survive, he sells his body, he rents his body. That’s how he manages to pay for a night in a hotel and to eat.”
