The defense of one of the actors, indicted for rape and aggravated human trafficking, asks the judges to hear Gregory Dorcel, general manager of the eponymous porn giant.
“It would appear from elements disseminated in the press that the Dorcel group has a preponderant influence in the French pornographic industry.

Me Slama's request follows the broadcast in September of Supplement to the investigation on France 2, which ensured, among other things, that thirteen complainants in the "French Bukkake" affair had seen their videos broadcast on Marc Dorcel's platforms, and that the company was informed.

Dorcel says he ignores all the complaints of the accusers
For the group, present in more than 75 countries, "the program proceeds by amalgamation by affirming that Dorcel would have diffused the contents of thirteen accusers in the French Bukkake file".
" It is not so.
Dorcel is not informed of any complaints from the latter.
Moreover, not being to our knowledge not covered by the ongoing investigation, the group does not have access to the file and therefore cannot verify this information", he added, reaffirming "that it has not distributed no production of Pascal OP”.
In all, sixteen men - actors, directors, producers - are indicted in the "French Bukkake" judicial investigation.
Among them, the producers nicknamed "Pascal OP" and "Mat Hadix", very well known in this world of so-called amateur porn.
