France sexual assault

ENTRE NOUS © FRANCE 24

In this edition of Entre Nous we dive into the "Affaire Patrick Bruel", as it is being called here in France. We discuss the accusations of sexual assault by some 30 women against the French singer and actor. We also examine some of the difficult questions this scandal and others like it raise: should we separate the art from the artist? What of the presumption of innocence? Finally, we look at how France's statute of limitations laws are being tested here.
