French singer Patrick Bruel is set to find out on Wednesday whether the judicial restrictions placed on him will be eased, following multiple allegations of sexual violence against him. The Versailles court of appeal will consider the case after Bruel’s lawyers requested that the 67-year-old be allowed to leave France, a restriction previously imposed. An investigating judge had approved this request on July 21, but the Nanterre prosecutor’s office challenged the decision, calling it "unjustified" and "excessive," as reported by Mediapart. A hearing to review this appeal took place on August 14, according to RTL. Bruel is currently under investigation for four separate cases at the Nanterre court. These include alleged rape in Neuilly-sur-Seine in 2008, an attempted rape in Brussels in 2010, and sexual assault and harassment in Perpignan in 2019 and Ajaccio, Corsica, in 2019. Additionally, he is listed as an "assisted witness" in four other cases, which means he is not formally charged but is still under scrutiny. These include alleged rapes in Dinard in 2012 and Isle-sur-la-Sorgue in 2015, as well as attempted rapes in Neuilly-sur-Seine in 2010 and 2011, and sexual harassment in Nyon, Switzerland, in 2019. Bruel denies all the allegations, stating he never "forced a woman." Since the initial formal charges were filed in June, nine additional complaints of sexual violence have been made or announced against Bruel. The Nanterre prosecutor’s office confirmed two of these new complaints: one involving an attempted rape and sexual assault in October 2007, and another for rape and sexual assault in May 2012. Bruel has also taken legal action against media outlets, including Paris Match, for publishing excerpts from his interrogation by investigators. He recently canceled a planned tour that was set to begin in early October. In response to the growing number of allegations, political figures, elected officials, and feminist organizations have urged Bruel to stop performing publicly. Dozens of women now accuse him of sexual violence, and the situation has drawn significant public and political attention. The outcome of the court’s decision on Wednesday could have major implications for Bruel’s legal status and public life.
