The investigating chamber of the Versailles Court of Appeal extended on Tuesday the prosecution of the judicial investigation targeting Patrick Poivre d’Arvor to the facts appearing prescribed denounced by the writer Florence Porcel, said Wednesday a source close to the file at AFP.
Florence Porcel, 38, accuses the former star presenter of having forced him to have sex in 2004 and fellatio in 2009, which he disputes. The facts of 2004, closed without action for prescription during a preliminary investigation in 2021, were not included in the judicial information carried out by an examining magistrate in Nanterre. By reversing the order of this judge, the court of appeal “allows the instruction to continue on all the facts” and to decide, in a second time, on their prescription or not, underlined the source close to the case.
