The mother of one of the young women who filed a complaint against the singer Jean-Luc Lahaye for rape and sexual assault was indicted on Thursday January 27 for not having denounced the facts, announced his lawyer. “After a painful interrogation, my client was indicted for non-denunciation of a crime,” said Vincent Demory in a press release sent to AFP. “She does not intend to challenge it. She was prepared for it and understands its full significance.”
“My client recalls her affection for her mother,” said Nathalie Bucquet, lawyer for the two complainants. The hearing of the mother of the other complainant, who was also initially summoned for an indictment by the judge in charge of the investigation, was postponed “sine die” due to her state of health, a reported his lawyer Chantal Corbier d’Hauteville.
