The complaint for sexual assault filed by the French soprano Chloé Briot against a fellow singer, who had carried the #MeToo movement in the field of music in 2020, has been dismissed, the Besançon prosecutor announced on Tuesday.

The mirror complaint filed by the respondent for "slanderous denunciations" against the singer was also dismissed, said prosecutor Etienne Manteaux during a press conference.

The baritone had to "

interpret love scenes for the sake of hyper realism, under the permanent control of the director, with a partner who at no time told him of her discomfort in the interpretation of these two scenes. of sexual intercourse

,” noted the magistrate.

However, "

it was not demonstrated during the investigation that Mr. was aware that his acting had gradually generated such painful feelings in his partner

", he explained, emphasizing the absence of a "

guilty intent on the part of the defendant

".

Etienne Manteaux also felt that "

the radical change (of the singer) in the interpretation of the two scenes based on the evolution of the director's instructions

“, to which the soprano had confided her feelings, “

is a pledge of her good faith

”.

Soprano Chloé Briot, 34, filed a complaint in 2020 for repeated sexual assaults by a fellow singer.

The facts denounced took place on stage, always in the presence of witnesses, in 2018 during the opera

Le Roi Carotte,

in Lille, then in 2020 at the operas of Rennes and Nantes, during the show

L'Inondation

, by Joël Pommerat .

A preliminary investigation was opened on May 15, 2020 by the Besançon prosecutor's office, which is competent because the baritone is domiciled in its jurisdiction.

The branch of the PJ in Besançon, the PJ in Rennes and the Central Office for the Suppression of Violence against Persons (OCRVP) had been seized.
