Lido

The Lido is a well-known cabaret in Paris, historically famous for its elaborate shows and costumes. Recent news focuses on Jean-Claude de Roo, a 77-year-old former artisan who created feathered costumes for the Lido for fifty years. He is currently newsworthy due to being tried and convicted for sexual assault and rape of two minors, with the alleged incidents occurring between 2007 and 2016. He was sentenced to ten years in prison. The case has brought attention to the Lido through its association with de Roo, though the cabaret itself is not directly implicated in the crimes. The news highlights the importance of addressing historical abuse allegations and holding perpetrators accountable.
