The investigation closed without follow-up on Olivier Duhamel for "prescription"

No surprise.

The investigation into the charges of incest concerning the political scientist Olivier Duhamel was dismissed because of "prescription", indicates on Monday the Paris prosecutor's office.

Camille Kouchner had accused her stepfather of having raped his twin brother when he was a teenager in his book

, published in January.

In a

 press

release, the prosecution explains that "Following the revelations contained in the book

implicating Mr. Olivier DUHAMEL for acts of sexual abuse, the Paris prosecution commissioned, on January 5, 2021, a preliminary investigation of the counts of rape on a fifteen-year-old minor by person in authority, rape by person in authority, sexual assault on a fifteen-year-old minor by person in authority and sexual assault by person in authority ”.

The Paris public prosecutor's office indicates that "this reason for classification is retained when the facts revealed or denounced in the procedure constitute an offense which would have given rise to prosecution by the public prosecutor's office if the time limit set by law had not been exceeded".
