The two investigations for “rape of minors” targeting producer Gérard Louvin and her husband Daniel Moyne were dismissed in January by the Paris prosecutor’s office.
An investigation opened last August
These two investigations were opened in January and August 2021 by the Paris public prosecutor’s office, which closed the first because the facts were time-barred and indicated that it had put an end to the second for “insufficiently characterized offense”.
In January 2021, Olivier A. had filed a complaint, accusing his uncle Gérard Louvin of having “favoured” incestuous rapes committed on him by the producer’s husband, Daniel Moyne, in the 1980s.
Unprescribed “rapes”?
Subsequently, several other complaints for “rape” and “sexual assault” against the couple had been filed in Paris, and a preliminary investigation had been opened by the prosecutor’s office in the capital.
Pierre Debuisson, lawyer for several plaintiffs, says he is convinced that non-prescribed victims exist. “My clients are still waiting for them to come forward,” he said, adding that they are “considering filing a complaint with civil action” to obtain the appointment of an investigating judge.
