The case returns to the front of the stage.
Monday, Liberation published detailed testimonies of eight women, including seven speaking with their faces uncovered, accusing journalist Patrick Poivre d'Arvor of sexual assault.
Among them, some have just founded an association on social networks to provide a space for the victims of assault in the media to speak out.

"We want to provide listening, protection and support, especially legal if necessary", explains this Wednesday the columnist on RMC Emmanuelle Dancourt, co-founder of the structure hitherto known as #MeTooMedias, confirming information from France Inter.
Among the other co-founders of the association, which will be born in the coming days, are the former presenter of JT Hélène Devynck, Cécile Thimoreau, former journalist at TF1 and Muriel Reus, former executive of TF1.
"We want an association open to everyone, not just women" and that it covers "the media in a broad way", specifies Emmanuelle Dancourt.
"Dare to get out of the woods"
The structure is also designed as "an umbrella so that non-prescribed victims of PPDA finally dare to come out of the woods", adds the journalist, specifying that lawyers are also associated with the initiative.
The PPDA case erupted in February, after a rape complaint by writer Florence Porcel.
Seven other complaints and 23 testimonies then targeted the former star presenter of the TF1 newspaper.
At the end of June, the Nanterre public prosecutor's office dismissed the investigation after four months of investigation due to "prescription" or "insufficient evidence" concerning accusations contested by PPDA.
According to Liberation, Florence Porcel intends to file a new complaint with the constitution of civil party, for non-prescribed facts.
This approach could lead to the opening of a judicial investigation, entrusted to an investigating judge.
