Twenty of the women who accuse Patrick Poivre d’Arvor of sexual assault and rape were brought together for the first time on the same set, Monday, May 9. They agreed to testify for Mediapart.
Twenty of the women who accuse Patrick Poivre d’Arvor of sexual assault and rape testified together for the first time on the set of Mediapart. Some had never before expressed publicly. Aged between 28 and 63 today, two women claim that they were minors at the material time. They speak of rape, sexual assault and harassment committed by the former presenter of the JT of TF1. All wanted to express themselves, because, despite their testimonies in court, there was no indictment.
The former boss of TF1 does not question the testimonies of these women, but denies having been informed. “There is no system. There is simply someone who behaved in an odious way with women in different contexts without anyone knowing it since these women did not speak out”, says Nonce Paolini, the former president of TF1.
