Singer Jean-Luc Lahaye, suspected of sexually assaulting two teenage girls when they were aged 15 to 17 from 2013, which he disputes, was indicted on Friday for rape of minors and placed in pre-trial detention this Friday evening November 5, as reported byAFP.
At the end of forty-eight hours of police custody in the premises of the Central Office for the Repression of Violence against Persons (OCRVP), the star of the 1980s, now 68 years old, was also put under examination by an examining magistrate for “sexual assault of minors over 15, corruption of minors” and abuse of weakness, said a judicial source. It was the JLD (judge of freedoms and detention) who had him imprisoned.
As a reminder, the interpreter of Woman i love was arrested last Wednesday with his daughter Margaux, for several reasons: rape and sexual assault on minors over 15, corruption of minors, abuse of weakness, invasion of privacy and possession of child pornography images. Earlier dn the day of November 5, the musician was brought before an examining magistrate after two days in police custody. According to France Info, Jean-Luc Lahaye would have “denied the facts” which he is accused of. As for her daughter, in poor health, she was released Thursday, November 4 and may be questioned later by the investigating judge.
All other custody has been lifted, without prosecution at this stage, namely the mothers of the two victims
Jean-Luc Lahaye has already dealt with justice for similar facts, which greatly increases his case. In 2015, he was given a suspended prison sentence and fined for minor corruption. A past that has certainly played against him.
