Cauet Case: Three Complaints for Rape and Sexual Assault - Analysis of the Investigation and Reactions from NRJ

Sébastien Cauet , a well-known NRJ presenter, is facing a series of three complaints for rape and sexual assault , the last of which was filed on November 18 in Bourg-en-Bresse. According to a source close to the case, the investigation has been entrusted to the juvenile brigade of the Paris judicial police, due to the minority of one of the complainants at the time of the events.

The Paris prosecutor's office confirmed that it had received three complaints against the presenter, specifying that two of them had initially been handled by the Bourg-en-Bresse prosecutor's office.

The allegations include rape and sexual assault.

Following these accusations, NRJ decided to temporarily suspend the radio show hosted by Cauet, with the Nanterre public prosecutor's office also being notified of the harassment allegations reported by the host himself.

The Bourg-en-Bresse public prosecutor's office has opened a preliminary investigation for "rape of a minor over 15 years old and rape" in response to a complaint filed on November 18. These alleged acts are said to have occurred between 2014 and 2022, a period when the complainant was still a minor.

Cauet, who categorically denies the accusations, has agreed with NRJ to "temporarily remove him from the airwaves." In return, he has filed a complaint for attempted extortion by an organized gang and slanderous denunciation.

The first complaint, revealed by the magazine L'Obs, comes from a young woman named Julie, who claims to have been the victim of two rapes in 2014 when she was a teenager. She explains that, while she was looking to do radio, Cauet allegedly demanded fellatio, obtained against her will after an initial refusal.

Sébastien Cauet, an emblematic figure of radio humor since its beginnings in the 1990s, and former host of "La méthode Cauet" on TF1, finds himself today at the center of a major controversy which is provoking diverse reactions.
