Indeed, according to the revelations of our colleagues from BFM TVan expert report revealed some instructive conclusions. “Reading the various testimonies and hearings, we can say that the relationship of influence between [les deux plaignantes] and the indicted can be characterized”, write the authors of the report, delivered to the investigating judge at the end of August.
According to the experts who carried out this expertise, the artist would have employed several “techniques” to put the two victims under his control. First, “a phase of seduction”, during which he attracts his fans on stage during his concerts. Then one “harassment phase” which consists of calling his fans incessantly and even at night. Following these two phases, he becomes a real “predator” by threatening and humiliating his victims.
Exchanges revealed

He always asked for more”, testified for example Roxane (her first name has been changed), one of the complainants”.About his sexual relations, experts go further by describing them as “an impulsive autoerotic relationship, a desire for possession, a desire to make the author the object of his own consumption. Available for his own pleasure.” The two young girls would have suffered a “‘escalation of injunctions regarding sex’, referring to imposed pornography or the demand for photos of them in obscene positions.”

And me too in the end… I still can’t explain why. At the time, it’s as if I didn’t experience it as a rape? I even tell myself that it’s It’s my fault, that I shouldn’t have followed him…”.
