French prosecutors ask for rape charges against film director Benoît Jacquot


Actors Isild Le Besco and Julia Roy filed complaints for alleged attacks dating back to the late 90s

Le Besco, 41, then filed a complaint over alleged rape during a relationship with Jacquot that also started when she was underage, and Roy, 34, accused him of sexual assault. Godrèche had accused Dillion of sexually assaulting her during a film shoot when she was 15, and Le Besco and another actor, Anna Mouglalis, 46, alleged that the film-maker forcefully kissed her in 2011. Godrèche has become a leading voice in France’s #MeToo movement since she accused Jacquot at the start of the year of grooming and abusing her as a teenager.
