Actor Ari Abitani (What Shall We Do with God?), accused of rape in November 2021, was granted a more favorable witness status by two judges on Wednesday. A “source with knowledge of the matter” indicated this to AFP, thus confirming the information Parisian.
According to the order, which the AFP could consult, the investigating judges acknowledged the applicant’s “undoubted post-traumatic stress” but considered that “there was no serious indication from the forensic information or consent in favor of an act of sexual penetration. Imposed by violence, coercion, threats or surprise”.
The actor’s lawyer, who always disputed the facts, was “delighted” at the AFP microphone “with this decision, which calls into question the media court, which is sometimes too quick to judge and condemn.”
