Philippe Caubère Indicted for Proxenetism in Ongoing Abuse Investigation

The November 24 filing adds to earlier rape and sexual assault indictments as investigators examine possible evidence removal.

Overview

  • French prosecutors confirmed the 75-year-old actor was placed under formal investigation on November 24 for proxenetism, following reports by BFMTV and AFP.
  • He had already been indicted in February 2024 for alleged rapes and sexual assaults involving minors, expanding a multi-year judicial inquiry.
  • Named complainant Agathe Pujol alleges she was forced into paid sexual encounters with hundreds of men beginning at age 17, with abuse she says lasted about a decade.
  • Caubère contests the allegations and remains free under judicial supervision with a ban on contacting the complainants, according to the latest reports.
  • His former lawyer, Marie Dosé, was indicted in October over suspected evidence removal, with Le Monde citing emails suggesting an effort to discard a potentially compromising computer.
