But here he is again in the eye of the storm. According to our colleagues at ParisianPrigent was placed in police custody this Tuesday morning, as part of another investigation opened by the Rennes public prosecutor's office. This time, the investigations would relate to criminal acts and the qualification of rape would have been retained by the Rennes prosecutor, following the complaint of a former kayaker coached by the Breton coach. The young man, who is still a minor, indicates having been raped five times by Jean-Yves Prigent.
