Norman Thavaud’s police custody was extended on Tuesday, December 6, the Paris prosecutor’s office announced to Agence France-Presse (AFP). The YouTube star with 12 million subscribers was placed in police custody on Monday for “rape and corruption of minors”, as part of a preliminary investigation entrusted to the brigade for the protection of minors (BPM), opened in January 2022.
Six young women filed a complaint against the host of the channel “Norman makes videos”. According to the newspaper Releasefive of them would accuse Norman Thavaud of rape, and two were minors at the time of the facts.
In 2020, a Quebec fan, Maggie D., publicly accused the youtubeur of having manipulated her to obtain sexual photos and videos, when she was 16 years old at the time. She said she had filed a complaint in Canada. As part of a Franco-Quebec investigation published by the Urbania media in April 2021, other women had made similar accusations against Mr. Thavaud for facts which allegedly occurred when some were still minors.
