Patrick Bruel, a prominent French singer and actor, was taken into police custody on Monday as part of an investigation into multiple sexual assault allegations. The prosecutor's office in Nanterre revealed that Bruel is being questioned regarding accusations from 13 victims, including two new rape complaints filed on May 27 and June 3. Allegations against Bruel date back to incidents in 1997, 2000, and 2001, with accusations of sexual assault, attempted rape, harassment, and rape being investigated. Bruel, 67, has denied all charges and stated that he will provide all necessary evidence to demonstrate his innocence. Following these developments, he has canceled most of his upcoming concert tour, which was scheduled to commence this month in Paris. Bruel's case adds to a growing list of sexual assault claims against French celebrities, including actor Gérard Depardieu, who was sentenced to 18 months in prison last year, with an appeal set for November.
