Radames Pera was indicted for sexual assault and aggravated rape of a minor under the age of 15. Information revealed this Friday, June 24 by BFM TV. The 61-year-old actor, who was charged in July 2021 with abusing a five-year-old girl, “has always denied the facts before the investigators“, revealed the public prosecutor of Reims, Matthieu Bourrette. The latter also explained that this indictment will “enable long and in-depth investigations to be carried out in a complex and atypical case”.
But the provisional detention is not claimed because the suspect collaborates and answers all the summonses of justice. He also has no criminal record in France, where he has been living for several years, near the Marne. The investigation is still ongoing, the objective being to find elements of the alleged facts, testimonies and perhaps even other victims.
