“Rape”, “pimping”, “trafficking in human beings”. These are the reasons that led to twelve indictments in the “French Bukkake” case – named after a pornographic video platform managed by a certain “Pascal OP”. Indicted and remanded in custody, the producer denies the facts, but in this sprawling case, 33 women have filed a complaint. For the first time, two of them agreed to tell their ordeal during the scenes, the only time they agreed to shoot in a pornographic film.
Helen and Marine (names have been changed) do not know each other, but tell practically the same story. And their profiles are similar: they were very young and their economic situation very precarious when they agreed to shoot for Pascal OP. Hélène, a student, no longer had enough to pay her rent. A single mother, Marine lived in the open and could no longer feed her son. At the time, Pascal OP had promised them 1,500 euros for a few hours of filming.
He had assured them that these images would not be broadcast in France, but in Canada, on a confidential site. But according to them, nothing happened as expected… Forced double penetrations, humiliations, violence, blackmail to then make the videos disappear from the internet… Their testimonies paint a sordid picture and cast a harsh light on the porn scene.
“At all the scenes, says Helen, I spend my time pushing them, saying no. I’m on top of him, and he holds me down, and from there, I have a forced double penetration, even though I said no. So I hurt, I cry, I bleed, but nobody stops.” Marine recounts an atmosphere of terror where she is “yell at it” because she doesn’t enjoy it. The young lady “achieve today [qu’elle a] was raped during these scenes”.
