In a river investigation, the magazine Néon publishes the testimonies of many alleged victims of the interpreter revealed by "The Voice" in 2014. Several complaints have been filed against the 38-year-old artist.


In a survey published Friday, November 27, the magazine

Néon

reports the testimonies of several women reporting sexual violence on the part of the singer Spleen, 38, notably revealed to the general public during his participation in the telecrochet "The Voice" in 2014. In October 2018 a complaint for

“sexual assault”

, then for

“sexual harassment and capturing immodest images”

had been filed.

In early November, the artist was the subject of a new complaint, this time for rape.

They are more than twenty to have testified and told their story with Pascal Oyong-Oly alias Spleen.

The first reported facts date back to 2009. Most of the stories reveal a well-honed and repeated technique on the part of the singer.

It is first through artistic means that he would offer a meeting to his victims, often in a photo studio or a café.

But each time, he would find a good excuse to redirect the girls to his home, as Rose, one of the alleged victims whose name has been changed, explained.

She says she was approached by Spleen in 2016 and agreed after a friend told her about her own experience with the singer.

“He tried to kiss me.

(...) He did it five times, six times, with contemptuous looks, attacking me on my lack of freedom, saying that I was frigid or homosexual.

I ended up letting him do it, but without being active and with an ostensibly disgusted pout ”.

“At his place, there is a small airlock, a white living room at the back in which was a camera, an armchair, a white table.

It was very

“staged”

, it didn't make a personal apartment at all

,

”she

explains.

Spleen then began to photograph her by asking her very personal questions, which would have ended up destabilizing the young woman.

"I asked to leave, he told me I could after the last step of the photos.

Then he asked me to stand, in profile, in front of a camera on a tripod.

He stood in front of me, and he said:

"You react as you want"

.

He tried to kiss me.

(...) He did it five times, six times, with contemptuous looks, attacking me on my lack of freedom, saying that I was frigid or homosexual.

I ended up letting him do it, but without being active and with an ostensibly disgusted pout

, ”continues Rose.

“Then he took me to another room where the floor was littered with pictures of naked women having sex with him or alone.

In my mind, I understood that it was screwed up, ”she

explains again, while she would have been filmed during the act.

Amélie's story is similar.

Met on May 7, 2016 at the Trabendo in Paris, he allegedly offered to meet again for a photo shoot, then to make music.

“We had made an appointment for a session in a studio.

At the last moment, he said to me:

“In fact, it's not possible in the studio, so it will be at my place”,

”she

says.

“I gradually took off clothes at her request, I was naked at the end.

And then he wanted us to sleep together.

I remember saying "no" to him several times "

Amelie

She signs a kind of discharge for the right to the image, and as in the previous testimony, Spleen would have tried to kiss her during the photo shoot.

“I let myself be kissed when I didn't want to at all.

I gradually removed clothes at her request, I was naked at the end.

And then he wanted us to sleep together.

I remember saying

“no” to him

several times.

What happened after… well there you go… Finally, we slept together, ”

laments Amélie, who also specifies that she was filmed.

Thereafter, she would have continued to see Spleen.

Same score for Marie, she also met Spleen at the Trabendo.

“He makes me sit on a stool facing the camera and asks me personal questions, as if to draw my portrait.

Then he said to me:

“Now I'm going to do something, and you react as you want”

.

And he comes forward to kiss me, ”she

says like the other girls.

If she says she refused at first, she would have finally given in to her game, concentrated provocation and

"demeaning"

words

.

Marie would then have posed naked, but would have managed to leave before the situation escalates.

This modus operandi would apparently apply to the vast majority of testimonials and Spleen's reputation was well established.

“'It doesn't surprise me', 'Ah!

I was sure it would come out someday… ”,“ I'm OK to answer your questions.

I wondered when it was going to happen ”

.

Sentences that we heard throughout our investigation ”

, reveal the journalists Julien Chavanes and Benjamin Monnet

.

Contacted by

Neon

, Spleen, through his lawyers, would have, according to the authors of this investigation, denied the facts.
