Vanessa Springora, 47, head of the Julliard publishing house, made the allegation in her book Le Consentement (Consent)
PARIS — The French public prosecutor’s office said on Friday it was opening a probe into allegations of rape of a child after a woman published a book saying that she had been sexually abused by prominent author Gabriel Matzneff when she was 14.“After having analyzed the work ‘Consent’, published on Jan. 2, the Paris prosecutor has today opened a probe for rape committed against a minor aged under 15, in connection, notably, to Vanessa Springora,” the statement said.
Springora’s book follows a stream of allegations of sexual violence in France triggered by the #MeToo movement in the wake of the scandal surrounding Hollywood film mogul Harvey Weinstein.
