A complaint for attempted rape was filed Monday against the Minister of Solidarity Damien Abad, said the Paris prosecutor's office, confirming information from Mediapart.
This complaint is "currently being analyzed", said the prosecution.
According to Mediapart, she was filed by an "elected centrist", who accuses Damien Abad of having tried to rape her during a party organized at his home in Paris in the first half of 2010.
Damien Abad announces to file a complaint in turn for "slanderous denunciation", in the face of "false accusations".
“Once again, I strongly contest any accusation of attempted rape or sexual assault,” said Damien Abad in a written statement sent to the press.
"I will not leave these false and outrageous accusations unanswered. From that day, I asked my lawyers to file a complaint for slanderous denunciation," he added.
