Almost bluntly, Romeo Elvis admits to having been the author of a sexual assault.

Accused since Tuesday, on social networks, by a young woman, the singer reacted on his Instagram account.

“The networks are on fire and yes, I realized that I had used my hands inappropriately on someone, believing I was responding to an invitation that was not one, and stopping myself in the moments that have followed as soon as I understood.

"

Tuesday, the victim of the sexual assault had shared, on Instagram too, the exchanges that she had had with Romeo Elvis.

In these messages, the artist was already apologizing: "I don't know what to tell you except that I'm really ashamed and it's not me, it doesn't look like me, I was in a bad time. 've acted like I'm not acting just thinking about it I'm ashamed.

And I am extremely embarrassed and sorry for you sincerely I do not know what to say to you else ”, he explained in particular.

In his public message on Wednesday, Romeo Elvis returns to these apologies made in private to the victim: “I sincerely regret this gesture and above all, I publicly reiterate the apologies already expressed many times in private to the person.

"

The revelation of this sexual assault took place when several young women had accused rapper Moha la Squale.

At least three of these victims have filed a complaint and an investigation is underway.

On social networks, the hashtag BalanceTonRappeur then flourished, in particular to evoke the case of Romeo Elvis.

Angèle, collateral victim

In conclusion of his message, Romeo Elvis calls not to minimize this kind of act and “hopes to serve as an example not to follow.

"

Perhaps these confessions will divert the attention paid, since Tuesday, to the sister of Romeo Elvis, the singer Angèle, accused of complicity or complacency by some Internet users in a sexist spirit.
