Jean-Marc Morandini is still in turmoil and it is bad news for him who fell this Tuesday, November 23, 2021. The host saw himself deny his appeal of the removal order carried out in July 2020 in the case of “corruption of minors” who touches him. According to the legal sources of our colleagues from BFMTV, the Paris Court of Appeal has in fact decided that it will appear before a criminal court during a trial. However, Jean-Marc Morandini still has a chance to avoid this outcome according to his lawyer. “We are going to appeal“, announced Me Corinne Dreyfus-Schmidt to AFP, rejoicing that the aggravating circumstances were not retained by the Court of Appeal.”It’s a first step“, she underlined.
Jean-Marc Morandini has been worried about this affair since 2016. At the time, he was indicted after the testimonies of two young men. The latter assured that they were minors at the time of the facts, they would have been 15 and 16 years old, and that they had received sexual proposals from the host. The first complainant explained that he had received messages of a sexual nature in 2013 via Twitter. Jean-Marc Morandini then defended himself by telling investigators that he did not know the young man’s age. The latter had ended up withdrawing and withdrawing his complaint.
The second complainant revealed that he had been the target of sexual propositions during his casting conducted by the journalist for his project of remake of the American film Ken park. In his testimony, he also recounted having been invited to Jean-Marc Morandini’s home where he would have been invited to undress and to reproduce a scene of masturbation, as described The Parisian at the time. In custody, Jean-Marc Morandini then this time assured that he had no memory of these events.
Jean-Marc Morandini remains presumed innocent of the facts with which he is accused until the final judgment of this case.
