Nekfeu Released From Custody Without Charges After New Complaint

Paris prosecutors now weigh possible follow-up ranging from further inquiry to dismissal.

Ken Samaras, alias Nekfeu, le 12 février 2016, à Paris

Overview

  • He was detained Monday over allegations of rape, sexual assault and habitual domestic violence reported by his former partner.
  • He was freed Wednesday without prosecution at this stage, according to sources close to the case cited by AFP.
  • Prosecutors in Paris previously closed three complaints filed between September 2023 and May 2024 for insufficient grounds.
  • The dispute is intertwined with a custody case that set the child’s primary residence with the rapper while granting the mother visitation and hosting rights.
  • The mother received a two-month suspended sentence in March for repeated non-representation of the child, has appealed, and is due back in court on January 7 over additional alleged failures to hand over the child.
