"
These are facts that have been known for several years,
" Karine Shebabo, Coline Berry-Rojtman's lawyer, told franceinfo.
The daughter of actor Richard Berry has filed a rape and sexual assault complaint against her father and ex-girlfriend Jeane Manson.
"
Mrs. Rojtman did not wake up one morning saying to herself, I'm getting confused with my father so I'm going to file a complaint,
" says the council.
The publication of the book
La Familia grande
[in which Camille Kouchner accuses her stepfather Olivier Duhamel of incest on his then adolescent twin brother, editor's note], would have completed "
opening a path at the end of a long journey
" of his client.

Like Jeane Manson, Richard Berry denies outright the accusations made by his daughter.
“His story has evolved over time.
It has been denied, renewed and enriched by it at the option of the interlocutors or the news,
”he wrote on Instagram.
Procrastination denied by the lawyer for the complainant.
“
There has been no evolution of Coline Rojtman's story.
She made a denunciation in the family circle, we are talking about incest.
We are talking here about the person who embodies authority, the father, the adult, who must protect and this is a fundamental element of the debate that we forget too much
, ”says Karine Shebabo on franceinfo.
She specifies that Coline Berry-Rojtman counts among her "
unwavering supports
" her mother Catherine Hiegel, "
someone who was present with her daughter at the time
".
Physical violence
The lawyer also recalls that Catherine Hiegel and Jeane Manson, suffered physical violence from Richard Berry.
"
Strokes that Richard Berry, interviewed by
Le Monde
, recognizes
", writes the daily.
“
These are women who, in addition to having been the partners of the main defendant, are women who themselves have been victims of violence.
There is great courage on the part of Catherine Hiegel to support her daughter in this context
”, declares the lawyer.
The actress Marilou Berry, cousin of Coline, had also supported it by sharing on Instagram a publication of the association Nous tous, which fights against gender-based and sexual violence.
"
Support for Coline Berry
", it was written there.
Coline Berry-Rojtman, on the other hand, cannot count on the support of Shirel, the daughter of Jeane Manson, "
the other child
" to have suffered the charges against Richard Berry, according to
Le Monde
.
The latter clearly distanced herself from the complainant via a statement posted on Facebook.
“
A month ago [Coline Berry-Rojtman] started harassing me to confirm his lies.
I never will
, ”she wrote.
She states that “
there were no inappropriate gestures from Richard.
There was no sex play with him and my mom.
Never.
No abuse, no touching, nothing
”.

These words from Jeane Manson's daughter, however, contradict the text message that she would have sent to Coline Berry-Rojtman in mid-January, according to
Le Monde
.
"I managed to go beyond this episode and turn the page ignoring this character who hurt us, very different from the public image he gives himself
, she would have written.
Fortunately, I cannot speak of touching.
I don't know what happened to you, but I support you in your approach to tell the truth. ”
Coline Berry-Rojtman's lawyer recalls on franceinfo that "
it is very rare to have false denunciations when we speak of sexual offenses against minors within families
".
