This Friday, June 17, BFMTV revealed the exchanges of emails between Jean-Luc Lahaye and one of the complainants. Messages that would have allowed his release from the prison of Health.
On May 24, Jean-Luc Lahaye was released from the prison of Health in Paris where he had been remanded in custody since November 5, 2021. The reason? His indictment for “rape”, “rape and sexual assault on minors aged 15”and “corruption of minors”. Now free, he still remains under judicial supervision until the investigation is completed. And new revelations could play in his favor.
This Friday, June 17, BFM TV informs that some of his email exchanges with one of the complainants would have allowed his release. These messages would have been sent between 2015 and 2020. According to the lawyers of the interpreter of woman i lovethe young woman who accuses the 69-year-old singer of rape, assumed the nature of their relationship. “I remember your gestures, your voice. I constantly draw from this past that we have in common, nothing is more beautiful. I miss you. I want your gaze on me, all your manifestations that have become synonymous of happiness. But you’re not here and I’m helpless”according to the content of the emails consulted by BFM TV and signed “Your little wife”.
The investigation relaunched after the revelation of these emails?
If the singer has always been attracted to women younger than him, this age difference has regularly shocked public opinion. But, still according to the messages, the young girl was not at all bothered by this significant gap and even told him to hold on. “Above all, defend yourself, it’s important. You’re not a pedophile. A rapist either. Especially not! We all know that you’re not the guy to abuse a woman without her consent. “
In the eyes of the artist’s lawyers, these exchanges are a game-changer on the ongoing investigation. An opinion which is not at all shared by the plaintiffs’ lawyer, Maître Nathalie Bucquet, who spoke on BFM TV. “I’m not particularly worried about all of this. I expected Jean-Luc Lahaye to be released at some point, in particular because of his age.” Case to follow.
