Singer Slimane Questioned by Police Over Sexual Assault Allegations

The 35-year-old artist was detained and interviewed in Saint-Étienne as part of an ongoing preliminary investigation launched in November 2024.

Slimane, a prominent French singer, is under investigation following two complaints of sexual assault and harassment filed by former tour technicians.
The alleged incidents reportedly occurred after a December 2023 concert in Saint-Étienne during Slimane's 'Cupidon Tour.'
One accuser claims to have received explicit messages and videos from the singer, while the other alleges a physical assault witnessed and recorded by others.
Slimane was taken into police custody and questioned last week, marking the final step before the investigation's conclusion, according to legal sources.
The singer, who rose to fame after winning 'The Voice' in 2016, has enjoyed significant career success, including recent recognition as 'Francophone Male Artist of the Year' at the 2024 NRJ Music Awards.
