UA technician who worked on a tour of the artist during a concert in Saint-Étienne in December 2023 filed a complaint recently, claiming to have received unsolicited messages and videos of a pornographic nature, according to his lawyer.
The prosecution confirmed at the end of October that it had received this complaint but was waiting to receive the material elements before opening a preliminary investigation.
This was finally opened for “sexual harassment aggravated by the use of a digital or electronic medium,” prosecutor David Charmatz told AFP.
Slimane, 35, is on tour for his “Cupid tour”. In May, he took fourth place in Eurovision with his song “Mon amour”.
Revealed by the talent show The Voice on TF1 which he won in 2016, he was at the top, during his duo with the singer Vitaa, in the album sales ranking in France in 2020 with their opus “Versus “.
Their title “It’s going to come” allowed them to win a Victoire de la Musique that year in the original song category.
On November 2, he won the “French-speaking male artist” trophy for the NRJ Music Awards 2024.
