Wishful thinking.

The writer Florence Porcel, who accuses the former TF1 star Patrick Poivre d'Arvor of rape, which he categorically rejects, spoke for the first time since the revelation of his complaint and wishes, in interviews to the

Parisian

and to the magazine

Elle

, that he "answer for his actions" in court.

Last month, the daily

Le Parisien

had revealed the filing of the writer's complaint against the former star presenter of JT, accusing her of an unwanted sexual intercourse in 2004 and of having imposed a fellatio in 2009. The prosecution of Nanterre had immediately confirmed to AFP that he had opened a preliminary investigation.

If PPDA had immediately taken the floor to reject these "false" accusations, which he had qualified through his lawyer and then on the set of the

Quotidien

show

 as a "slanderous denunciation", Florence Porcel was not yet publicly expressed on this matter.

Several testimonies against PPDA

In an interview with Le

Parisien

, and posted online this Monday, she says she does not want to react to the statements of PPDA and trust justice.

"The investigation will establish the facts," she said, saying she hoped that "Patrick Poivre d'Arvor be tried for his actions."

“This man stole my sentimental, love, sexual life from me.

(…) I want him to stop making victims.

And that he answer for his actions before an Assize Court, ”she also confided in an interview with

Elle

, published the same day on the weekly's website.

Asked about the testimonies of other women mentioned in recent weeks in the press, she also told

Elle that

she would like "the investigation to prove that this man was in an entire system of predation, installed for decades, perhaps. to be covered by his hierarchy ”.

The Nanterre prosecutor's office, which heads the rape investigation targeting the former presenter of TF1's television news, said Tuesday that it had received two other testimonies of facts "which could be qualified as rape", confirming information from the newspaper

Le Monde

.

For his part, the famous journalist has denied outright the accusations of the writer, "absurd and especially false" according to him, saying last month "revolted by the way in which we seek to instrumentalize to ensure the promotion of a novel ".

"I have never consented, accepted a relationship that would not be consented, that would be forced whether sentimental or sexual," he also assured in the

Daily

show

.
