A former Sciences Po Toulouse student was put on examination on Saturday in a rape investigation. He was placed under judicial supervision.
The young man, who had been in police custody since Thursday, disputed the facts during his questioning. He was implicated by a student for a rape which allegedly took place in 2018.

For the past week, the prestigious Institutes of Political Studies (IEP) have been affected by a wave of testimonies from students reporting sexual violence.
These students claiming to be victims or witnesses of sexist behavior and violence, including rape, have multiplied the messages on social networks with the hashtag #sciencesporcs which is inspired by #balancetonporc, launched in October 2017 after the questioning by American producer Harvey Weinstein.
Integration night
Tuesday, Olivier Brossard, the director of the IEP of Toulouse, during a press conference, delivered the “facts (which) date back to September 2018, in the context of an evening” of integration “.
At the end of December, the victim came to see the head of Sciences Po Toulouse and was taken in charge: “We encouraged her to give us the name of the attacker and a written testimony,” Mr. Brossard added.
Reports in Grenoble
In Grenoble, the prosecutor Eric Vaillant for his part claimed to have opened investigations after receiving “two reports of sexual assault by the management of Sciences Po Grenoble on January 25 and February 8.”
On Friday, several dozen students from IEPs in Strasbourg and Grenoble met to denounce the “culture of rape” present, according to them, in their establishments.
