The two surveys for “rapes on minors” which aimed by producer Gérard Louvin and her husband, Daniel Moyne, were sorted without following January by the Paris prosecutor’s office, learned the France-Press agency (AFP) Monday April 4 from sources close to the file.
These two surveys had been opened in January and August 2021 by the Prosecutor’s Office of the Capital. The latter confirms having classified the first because of the prescription of the facts and put an end to the second for “infringement insufficiently characterized”.
Pierre Debuisson, a lawyer of several complainants, believed that non-prescribed victims exist. “My clients still wait for them to appear,” he said, stating that they “think about filing a complaint with civil party constitution” to obtain the designation of an investigating judge.

Justice was made, it’s a great relief, it was a long and painful procedure for my client. We are happy to have trusted our legal system, because today their Honor is washed, “reacted Céline Bekerman, Daniel Moyne’s lawyer.
