No concert for Jean-Luc Lahaye. The singer, indicted for rape and sexual assault of two minors, was banned by the investigating judge in charge of the investigations from performing in concert, learned franceinfo from a judicial source, Saturday October 22, confirming information from BFMTV.

In an order of October 4, the investigating judge modified the conditions of the judicial review of the singer, released in May after more than six months of pre-trial detention, in order to prohibit him from performing in concert. The star of the 80s had planned a performance on December 23 in Paris.

The singer appealed the magistrate’s decision. His appeal must now be examined by the investigating chamber of the Paris Court of Appeal. Pending this decision, the ban remains in effect.

Accused by two young women

Aged 69, the interpreter of singer dad was indicted in November 2021 for rape and sexual assault of minors over the age of 15 after the denunciations of the two young women, born in 1998 and 2000. The alleged facts, which he disputes, would have started in 2013.

At the beginning of October, one of the complainants had told on RMC that the attacks she said she had suffered had happened “largely in the boxes, behind the scenes at concerts“. The variety singer has previous convictions for offenses against minors in 2007 and 2015.
