A few months after the complaint of five men against Gérard Louvin and her husband for “rape of minors”, an investigation was opened by the Paris prosecutor’s office. In recent days, revelations made by a couple of French expatriates in Brazil implicate other celebrities including Julien Courbet.
Paid sex parties
Indeed, a new investigation for “rape of minors” was opened at the beginning of August against the television producer Gérard Louvin and her husband Daniel Moyne, already targeted by an investigation since the end of January, said this Saturday, September 18, the Paris prosecutor’s office, confirming information from “Parisian».
According to the daily, the investigations were launched after a testimony accusing the couple of sex tourism in Brazil in 2004 was transmitted in the spring to French justice. Contacted by AFP, lawyers for Mr. Louvin and Mr. Moyne disputed the facts.
Me Céline Bekerman, who defends Mr. Moyne, described the opening of the investigation as “absurd”. “It is no longer a question of justice but of a relentlessness that no element justifies”, she estimated. Mr. Louvin’s lawyer, Me Christophe Ayela, for his part announced that he would file a complaint on Monday for slanderous denunciation against this couple, as well as another against “Le Parisien”.
“In the spring, a couple who had resided in Rio de Janeiro between 1999 and 2009 communicated to the courts a certificate in which they claimed to have been aware of the organization by the two men of” paid sex parties “with minors from the favelas”
Extract from the article in Le Parisien
“The two witnesses are essentially referring to a party that was allegedly organized during New Years Eve in late 2004. A“ paid sex party ”which they did not attend, but which, according to their statements, was reported to them by the star host Julien Courbet and his wife, ”he continues.
Julien Courbet refutes the information
“This is completely false, Mr. Courbet has never witnessed anything”, told AFP the lawyer of the host, Sylvie Noachovitch. If that had been the case, “he would have immediately denounced it to the Paris prosecutor”, she assured, indicating that she would file a complaint for “defamation” against the couple.
Networks already in the spotlight
The suspicions targeting the Louvin-Moyne couple do not date from yesterday. In the mid-1990s, Gérard Louvin would have left the presidency of the Enfants d’Asie association after two years at the head at the request of members of the board of directors. The reason: “Rumors” of pedophilia.
Twenty investigations into suspected French pedophiles raging abroad were opened in 2018, 19 in 2019 This is almost twice as many as in previous years. A strong message sent to the French who think they are safe from any prosecution by acting abroad.
