Although he has already been implicated several times for sexual assault and/or his behavior towards women, Jean Lassalle is the subject of an investigation for rape and sexual assault, BFM TV revealed this Friday 21 July.
The former deputy and presidential candidate is in the crosshairs of justice following the presentation of a complaint by a woman who is now 45 years old.
“Attacked” while pregnant
The facts date back to 2010. It is in the midst of the campaign for the regional elections that Sophia* contacts Jean Lassalle, asking the elected representative to help her solve a problem with her daughter’s school. After a few telephone exchanges, they end up meeting. But when she arrives at the meeting place, she finds herself alone with Lassalle in a room.
That’s when he allegedly “assaulted” and raped her, reports BFM TV. ” At that point I didn’t know what to do. I told him I was pregnant, and I was. But he didn’t believe me. So there… “, he confided to the media.
A complaint for “which does not make other victims”
He decides to file a complaint twelve years later, in particular after having attempted suicide: “JI realized that I had been sick for twelve years from this. It even led me to attempt suicide. And then, recently, I decided to change my life. I wanted to file a complaint to report the factsmake sure he doesn’t make other victims and close this parenthesis “, explains.
Jean Lassalle should soon be heard by the Bordeaux prosecutor. This MP has already been repeatedly accused of sexual assault, as reported Mediapart in a survey published in 2017.
Nicknamed the ” slimy deputy due to his behavior towards women, he has always denied these accusations, indicating that no charges had ever been brought against him. Now it’s done.
