Richard Berry was accused of incest: the investigation was closed without further action

Confirmation of information BFM TVThe Paris prosecutor’s office indicated that the incest investigation against Richard Berry was closed due to the establishment of the facts.

For information, Richard Berry’s eldest daughter, Coleen Berry, filed a complaint in February 2021 against her father and mother-in-law, singer Gene Manson, for rape, sexual abuse and corruption of a minor. Facts that happened when the girl was 8 years old.

“This is a great relief for us“, said Maitre Patrick Klugman, lawyer of Colin Berry France info. According to him, classification with no further action is given when “the facts are sufficiently characterized”.

“And so it happenedHe believes. When justice conducts an investigation and the facts do not seem to be characterized, it is for this reason that it closes the investigation, not because of the purpose.and add:From now on, no one can say that incest victim Colin Berry is a liar..”

The complaint was filed in January 2021 shortly after Camille Kushner’s book was published. big family, in which the author condemns political scientist Olivier Duhamel’s incest on his twin brother. The juvenile protection brigade was in charge of the investigation.

Recall that Richard Berry immediately categorically denied the facts and published a long message in his Instagram story, in which he specified that he had written to the Paris prosecutor to ask for an in-depth investigation, regardless of the purpose. To find out the truth will be determined in the end.

“I am speaking to you today because I am facing one of the most painful situations for a man and a father. Forty-five years ago, my daughter Koline was born. When he was two years old, his mother and I separated under very conflicting circumstances. I looked after Colin on Sundays, first with my parents, then at weekends with my partner at the time, Gene Manson, and his daughter of the same age.

I was very young, not too much, but I loved and respected my daughter. Seven years ago, when I told my family that my wife and I were expecting a child, Colin, who was pregnant himself, reacted with extreme violence, and in a subsequent email to my wife, he first indicated that she had allegedly been “abused“.

Its history has evolved over time. It was rejected, updated and enriched according to the interlocutors, that is, the news. For years I tried to get him to talk to me, to put an end to his lies, to find out what was wrong with me, to no avail.

I have disclosed this to psychiatrists, my family, my friends. After Camille Kushner’s testimony was published, my daughter reworked her story again. He first contacted journalists in early January, and then filed a complaint.

As soon as I heard that this legal process had been started, I immediately wrote to the prosecutor in Paris and asked him, regardless of destination, to conduct a thorough investigation in order to finally establish the truth.

I strongly and unequivocally deny these filthy allegations. I have never had an inappropriate or incestuous relationship with Colin or any of my children. These allegations are false. Even if repeated a hundred times, by press or other means, it is nothing but a lie. All the witnesses of that time who shared our lives and our shared moments are formal: none existed.

Why does my daughter blame me for something I didn’t do? Why does he go on this destructive frenzy? I want to understand his suffering. I was probably too little, or too late. I don’t know if that explains anything. Beyond the immense pain and shock I feel, it is now up to justice to establish the facts.”

Colin Berry has appealed against that conviction. “We now eagerly and calmly await this trial, to restore the honor and dignity of Colin Berry, who single-handedly and against a powerful system denounced the gravest facts that can be denounced.“- said his lawyer on the antenna of France Info.
