Problems with the law continue for Patrick Poivre d’Arvor. Monday December 18, the former presenter of the TF1 news was indicted for a rape committed in 2009, as part of the judicial investigation opened after a complaint from the author and journalist Florence Porcel, indicated this Tuesday evening the Nanterre public prosecutor’s office.

Patrick Poivre d’Arvor “firmly contests the alleged facts”, according to his lawyers. The ex-journalist was also placed under the status of assisted witness for a second fact denounced by the complainant, dating from 2004, said the prosecution, adding that this was “prescribed”.
