On September 6, the main host of TF1 Vincenzo Cerutti he was indicted for sexual assault. The investigation began in 2020 for facts dating back to 2015, as revealed The Parisian.
A first complaint filed in 2019
At the time of the events, Vincent Cerutti was a presenter on Chérie FM. Aline, whose name has been changed, is hired as a switchboard operator by the radio station where Vincent Cerutti co-hosts the morning program. The host already regularly comments on his buttocks. One day he replied: “ you have a nice ass in these jeans, it makes you want to wear them “.
But one day, in November 2015, Vincent Cerutti would go further. He puts the shoes on Aline’s work table. The latter takes one out and throws it across the room. The host grabs her colleague, pins her to the ground, her hands behind her back and bites her buttocks through her trousers.
When she arrived home, the young woman discovered that the bite had left her with a bruise. A gesture that Cerutti reproduces a few months later, when Aline crouches on a step in front of him. Aline, the victim, had already filed a complaint the first time fired in 2019.
Vincent Cerutti defends the ‘schoolboy prank’

An internal investigation, launched at the beginning of the 2016 school year, led to Vincent Cerutti’s dismissal in April 2017, for one week.

Before the courts, Vincenzo Cerutti speaks of ” schoolboy jokes without any sexual connotations ” AND ” mutual bites “.
