Jean-Claude de Roo, a 77-year-old Belgian artisan and former plumassier (feather worker) for the renowned Lido cabaret in Paris, is currently newsworthy due to his recent conviction and sentencing. He was found guilty of rape and sexual assault against two minors, aged 15 and 16 at the time of the offenses, which occurred between 2007 and 2016. De Roo contested the charges. On April 1, 2026, he was sentenced to ten years in prison. For fifty years, he contributed to the costumes of the Lido. His trial, which took place from Monday to Wednesday, has brought attention to the issue of sexual abuse and exploitation, particularly within artistic and entertainment circles.
