The former ecological secretary of state Jean-Vincent Placed is accused by a former collaborator of“sexual harassment”. The facts allegedly took place between 2012 and 2016 and a complaint was filed. As reported byAFP, the Paris prosecutor’s office opened an investigation on November 23. The investigation was entrusted to the Brigade for the repression of delinquency against the person (BRDP).
Contacted, Jean-Vincent Placé said “take note” of the complaint and added: “I do not wish at this stage of the proceedings to make any comments. I will, of course, answer any questions that the investigators may ask me.” Some facts denounced by a certain Audrey had already been made public in 2018, in the pages of Release. At the time, we learned that the young woman was forced to “dance a slow” with the centrist senator François Zocchetto, during a trip to Rome.
A year later, Audrey had testified anonymously on France 3, indicating that the former UDI mayor of Laval had it “gripped”, “pressed against him” and put him a “hand down behind the back”. The latter then gave up standing for municipal elections, presenting his “apologies” for his “lack of restraint” because he did not have “not dared to resist the injunction” of Jean-Vincent Placé whom he accompanied, while “denying any reprehensible behavior”.
In August 2015 in Lille, on the sidelines of the summer gathering of the party that Jean-Vincent Placé is then preparing to leave, Audrey accuses him of having him “hit the buttocks”. The second attack would have occurred in mid-May 2016 in Seoul, during an official trip by Jean-Vincent Placé: in a car, the former Secretary of State of François Hollande allegedly “deliberately touched Audrey’s chest.”
According to the plaintiff’s lawyer, Me Tewfik Bouzenoune, Jean-Vincent Placé “operated a reification of a brilliant young woman who gradually died under her authority”. Jean-Vincent Placé has already been sentenced for “sexual harassment” last March, after trying to kiss a gendarme in 2016, as revealed The world. It is moreover this condemnation that has “determined” Audrey to speak and file a complaint against the former senator from Essonne.
Jean-Vincent Placé remains presumed innocent of the facts with which he is accused.
