French actor and singer Patrick Bruel faces new attempted rape complaint
Patrick Bruel, the 67-year-old French actor and singer, faces a new complaint for attempted rape, announced his accusers' lawyer, Myriam Guedj-Benayoun, on France Inter. The lawsuit, filed this summer, stems from an incident at a party where the complainant, then just of legal age, was left alone with Bruel. Bruel is already indicted for rape, attempted rape, sexual assault, and harassment, with 31 prior complaints. The new facts may be statute-barred, but the lawyer argues prescription should not apply.
