This Sunday, December 12, 2021, the teams of Seven to Eight were interested in the recent accusations concerning Patrick Poivre d’Arvor. An alleged victim, who at the time of her first testimony, was a minor, testifies anonymously.
Followed by the TF1 teams, the victim remembered this painful moment. Because after having invited him to attend one of his programs – or she was accompanied by his friends – the latter then remembered to have been invited by Patrick Poivre d’Arvor in his dressing room. But once installed on the sofa in the dressing room, she noticed a change in the journalist’s behavior: “He was sitting next to me on the couch and at one point he started to gesture inappropriately. “And to continue:”In my memories, he begins by kissing me, that, I have a very clear image on the sofa where he is partly on me. I find myself without the stocking, he asks me to lie down on the carpet. And there, he stands in front of me, he is like me, that is to say he removed the stocking, and there he is, he is erect. And there without anything else in fact, without sensuality, it penetrates me.“A painful memory that she shared anonymously.
Facts which date back to 1988. At the time, the victim was only 16 years old. Renamed Caroline by the media, she had confided in the columns of 20 minutes last July, having contacted Patrick Poivre d’Arvor with the aim of introducing him to his idol, Francis Huster. But after their first exchanges – made by mail – the accused would have become “more and more intimate“. A traumatic episode which had marked the victim a lot following this mishap:”Her schooling is collapsing, she has to pass the bac three times“, could we discover at the time in 20 minutes.
Patrick Poivre d’Arvor remains presumed innocent of the facts with which he is accused until the final judgment of this case.
