The singer has been imprisoned since November 2021, accused of raping two teenage girls. A former victim of Jean-Luc Lahaye came out of the silence and gave a chilling testimony to the Parisian.
Last November, a scandal erupted. Jean-Luc Lahaye is arrested and then indicted, suspected of raping two teenage girls. Since then, the singer has been imprisoned. This court decision allowed a former victim to break the silence. The young woman, whose identity remains anonymous, spoke with The Parisian and shared an uplifting testimony from a much earlier story. The life of Nadia (so named by the media) changed the night of December 31, 2002. To spend New Years Eve, the young teenager, only 14 years old, was in a nightclub, and more precisely at 287, where she met Jean-Luc Lahaye. It was during this evening that she claimed to have been coerced into having sex without consent, but it took her many years to consider that she had been the victim of “rape“.” JI struggled when he wanted to grab me, but I was totally helpless“, she recalled. At that precise moment, she even thought that she was responsible, that she would not have.”not had to follow him …“
In 2004, on the advice of her boyfriend, she decided to file a complaint. An episode that traumatized her. “The police officers from the minors’ brigade were very violent, said vulgar words to me, asked me if I was playing the whore …“, she explained. Then at the time of the hearing, Jean-Luc Lahaye was heard, but did not take the case seriously. The judge then condemned him for”aggravated minor corruption“in 2007 and not for”rape“, and he received a simple fine of 10,000 euros, free from the court. It was during this period that her musical career exploded, while Nadia sank into chaos and the affair seemed to be forgotten by all. “When he was able to come out free, I put the words on what I had lived. I understood that I had been raped and that the justice had just slapped her on the fingers“, explained the young woman to Parisian.
“Isn’t that rape?”
The teenager was then in full pain and incomprehension. “What he did to me doesn’t seem to have had any impact on him“, she lamented, before continuing:”We should have forgotten him, thrown him in the trash, but he continued to be on the radio, he made films… At that moment, it drives me crazy, it’s not fair.“Then she added:”After two hours in court, he resumed his career when he had crushed my life, that I was at the bottom of the abyss.“
Nadia deplores the court ruling in 2007. For her, lives could have been “saved“if his complaint had been taken”seriously“.”The justice recognized that I had undergone traumatic sexual practices… It is not a rape that?“, she exclaimed, before regretting:”I think they didn’t want to see that Jean-Luc Lahaye was a predator. They were going in his direction. Yet if they had taken me seriously they could have avoided this new case. “Today, even if the young woman is not concerned by the complaint which targets the singer, she is ready to testify again to support the two young girls who would have undergone the same trauma.
