French Psychoanalyst Gérard Miller Placed Under Formal Investigation on Six Counts of Rape and Sexual Assault

Strict judicial controls follow prosecutors’ request after dozens of testimonies since early 2024.

Overview

  • After two days in police custody, Miller, 77, was placed under formal investigation on October 2 for alleged acts committed between 2000 and 2020, including offenses against minors.
  • The judge imposed a €65,000 bond, an obligation of care, and bans on practicing psychoanalysis, working with minors, and appearing on television as a commentator.
  • Prosecutors said the step follows their requisitions, indicating serious or corroborating evidence that warrants deeper investigation.
  • One additional allegation was left at the lesser status of assisted witness, and several reported incidents were excluded as time-barred.
  • The case gained traction after an Elle investigation in January 2024 that prompted numerous testimonies, while Miller continues to deny any wrongdoing.
