Singer Patrick Bruel denies wave of sexual assault allegations in France

Singer Patrick Bruel is facing accusations of sexual assault from around 30 women in France, including TV and radio presenter Flavie Flament, who alleges rape in 1991. Prosecutors in Nanterre are reviewing about 10 of these cases, with two separate allegations being studied in Saint-Mâlo and Belgium. Bruel's lawyer denies Flament's claims, stating their relationship was consensual. Meanwhile, a feminist group has launched a petition to cancel Bruel's upcoming concert tour. A French government spokeswoman encouraged victims to speak out, emphasizing the justice system's role in establishing facts.

French singer and actor Patrick Bruel is denying multiple allegations of sexual assault. The Paris prosecutor's office is investigating at least four complaints filed in France, and a separate investigation is underway in Belgium following a complaint filed in March. Bruel stated he has never forced a woman and sincerely regrets if he has hurt anyone. He maintains he will continue his work, including an upcoming concert tour, despite a petition calling for cancellations. Bruel's lawyer noted that previous allegations of sexual harassment and assault by massage therapists were closed due to lack of evidence.
