The prolific theater man is the subject of a complaint filed in 2021 by one of his former students, alleging the “Libération” years of “fear-dominated subjugation” and rape of which he was allegedly a victim since adolescence.

Pierre Notte, who was taken into police custody, was questioned for the first time by a judicial police officer on Wednesday, April 24. According to our information, there was an immediate confrontation with the complainant. In the end, Notte, who was assumed to be innocent, was brought before an investigating judge who accused him of rape of a minor committed by a person abusing the authority given to him by his position. He is currently placed under judicial supervision.
