“We regret to inform you that something unacceptable has happened,” said the organizers of the Insane Festival in a press release on Sunday August 13. “In fact, two rape complaints have been filed.” A police source confirmed to Figaro that two women had filed a complaint for rape during this music festival which took place near Apt, in the Vaucluse. The two individuals suspected of rape were arrested and taken into custody.
A first attack would have taken place on the evening of Friday August 11, a second the following evening. As a result, the organizers decided to end the event prematurely. “This kind of behavior is terrible and unacceptable, they justified in their press release. “Following our care of the victims, in agreement with the authorities and because your safety is a priority, we will close the concerts at 00:00 for this evening. »
The victims were “accompanied in the steps and their filing of a complaint”
The press release specifies that “the victims were taken care of immediately by our security teams” and that “they were accompanied in the procedures and their filing of a complaint”. In addition, “the festival teams have done their utmost to identify the people involved, exclude them from the site and take them to the gendarmerie so that justice is done. »
