Jean-Luc Lahaye jailed for rape: the singer’s embarrassed relatives testify

Bad timing for Jean-Luc Lahaye. On November 4, 2021, the singer was taken into custody, the subject of a complaint by two young women for facts dating back to their adolescence, in 2013 and 2014. The interpreter of Woman i love was indicted this Friday, November 5 for “rape, sexual assault of minors over 15 years old, minor corruption” Thus that abuse of weakness. One of his accusers has already accused him of minor corruption (he has also been condemned a first time to a one-year suspended prison sentence on May 18, 2015. A new case that disturbs his comeback operation: the 68-year-old artist had multiplied the projects in recent months to reconnect with the public. After a self-produced album, he planned to go back on stage, from the week of November 8, 2021. Obviously, after the indictment and the imprisonment of the principal concerned, the schedule was put away in a cupboard.

On the side of his relatives, the embarrassment is palpable. “It’s a crumbling empire “, confided a professional to the daily The Parisian. “His return was, however, well underway.“The producer of the shows of Jean-Luc Lahaye, Olivier Kaefer, remain on his guard “due to the ongoing investigation.“He hammers, however:”he is presumed innocent, but if he is condemned, then I will not be able to condone.“Another friend can hardly believe that the singer’s return will be without a hitch. Some of his concerts scheduled for the summer of 2022 are pending from custody. “The image of Jean-Luc has already been very damaged the first time“, breathed this close,”there, the return will be difficult, we are not not close to seeing it again on TV.“Another friend – who claims to have “never seen” suspicious behavior on the part of the artist – hope the accusations targeting him are false, “fantasies of children, of young girls who wanted to Jean-Luc Lahaye.“

Jean-Luc Lahaye soon to be blacklisted from the artistic sphere?

The wait is also advocated among artists. “The refrain we hear is: ‘if he is condemned, we don’t want to see him anymore, if he’s innocent, no problem ‘“, says another music professional. Jean-Luc Lahaye therefore hangs by a thread. He is not the only one to have been plunged into turmoil: his daughter Margaux was also arrested by the authorities before being placed in police custody. The same goes for the mothers of the two young alleged victims. Margaux Lahaye has however was released.
