The judgment was reserved until July 17.
Accused of sexual violence
In an article published by “Le Monde” in February 2021, the latter spoke of sexual violence that she suffered as a minor in 1984 and 1985 at the home of her father who then lived with Jeane Manson, accused of having participated in these attacks .
The investigation opened in Paris targeting the actor accused of incest by his daughter was dismissed on August 31, 2022 due to statute of limitations.
Jeane Manson had decided to sue her ex-daughter-in-law for defamation before the Aurillac court, in Cantal, where she lives part of the year.
In April 2022, the court sentenced Coline Berry-Rojtman, born in 1976, to a fine of 2,000 euros for defamation and 20.00 euros in damages.
The Riom Court of Appeal (Puy-de-Dôme) confirmed this conviction in December 2022. But in December 2023, the Court of Cassation annulled this judgment and sent the case back to the Lyon Court of Appeal.
“Revenge” against his father?
During the hearing Tuesday, Jeane Manson repeated: “I’m not a rapist, not a liar.” “I am a victim, I haven’t slept for three years,” she insisted.
Her lawyer Jacques Verdier denounced Coline Berry-Rojtman’s “revenge” against her father, of which his client “appears as a collateral victim”.
For her part, Coline Berry-Rojtman maintained her position: “For me, this is the most blatant injustice because I am being prosecuted for having denounced the facts of which I was a victim.”
“She must be protected,” insisted one of the defense lawyers, Patrick Klugman, at the close of the proceedings, calling on the court to “put an end to this scandal”.
