The Jacques Bouthier case continues to gain momentum. According to LCI and BFMTV, Assu 2000's former CEO is being investigated for sexual harassment. He was already indicted on May 21st for "trafficking of human beings" as well as "rape of minors".
She was an ex-employee of Assu 2000 Tangier, Morocco who turned to justice. She denies facts that occurred during November 2021. The alleged victim, who was in her twenties at the time, claimed that she was fired from the company for refusing to accept the advances of Jacques Bouthier. She would have received sexist messages from the ex-CEO that had a sexual connotation. The ex-CEO allegedly sent the message "You bitch, we're going out" to the young woman who refused to comply.
Monday's complaint of "sexual harassment" was sent to Paris's prosecutor's office. They will "analyze it" to determine if it can be attached to the ongoing judicial investigation or if it should be the subject a separate investigation.
