Indicted in November 2021 after a complaint for rape, the actor Ary Abittan (What did we do to God?) Was placed on Wednesday under the more favorable status of assisted witness, by two investigating judges. This was indicated by a “source familiar with the matter”, to AFP, thus confirming the information of the Parisian.
According to the order that AFP was able to consult, the investigating judges recognized the “indisputable post-traumatic stress” of the complainant, but considered that “there did not emerge from the judicial information serious or concordant indications in favor of an act of sexual penetration imposed by violence, constraint, threat or surprise”.
The actor’s lawyer, who has always disputed the facts, was “delighted”, at the microphone of AFP, “with this decision which calls into question the media court which sometimes judges and condemns too quickly.”
