Rapperโข lomepal Faces Renewed Scrutiny Following New Complaint in Rape Allegations
Paris,โค France – rapper โขAntoine Valentinelli, known professionally as Lomepal, is again facing accusations of sexual assault following a new complaint filed August 1st, according to a report โขpublished by Libรฉration.This growth comesโฃ as three other women have come forward with allegations against the artist, detailing incidents occurring โbetween 2018 and 2020.
The renewed legal action follows previous complaints that were dismissed earlierโ this year. Marie and Miranda Starcevic haveโฃ now joined as civil parties in the case, with Starcevic’s lawyer, Me Frรฉdรฉrique Pollet-Rouyer, criticizing the initialโข investigations for failing to adequately consider inconsistencies in Valentinelli’s statements and discrepancies between his account and those of individuals close to him.
Libรฉration‘s report details allegations from four women.One accuser alleges that Lomepal initiated โคanal penetration without her consent and continued despite her โฃrefusal.Following the โincident, she claims he questioned her understandingโค of the โword “no,” to which he reportedly responded, “We know very well what it means when you say no.” He has previously dismissed the accusations as “science-fiction” during a court confrontation.
Another accuser,identified as Audrey* (name changed by Libรฉration),alleges that she met Lomepal in a nightclub in the fall of 2018 after the success of his gold-recordโฃ album Flip.She claims he flirted with her, accompanied her home, and then insisted on coming inside while she expressed a โฃdesire to sleep. Audrey alleges he kissedโค her despite her resistance (“rembarrait”), and that he later called her a “whore” when leaving.She has chosen not to file a formal complaint at this time.
A third accuser, Raphaรซlle,โค was โฃamong the first to file a complaintโ but has since withdrawn from pursuing legal action, citing the “coldness of the โsystem” and a “lack of consideration” for victims. she stated that the legalโ process has hindered her ability to rebuild her life.
lomepal’s legal counsel, Mes julie Benedetti and Jacqueline โLaffont, maintain that โข”justice has done its job โand rendered its decision” following a “long investigation” involving interviews with the artist’s former partners,โ associates, and witnesses.
However,Marieโ disputes โฃthis account,claiming thatโฃ certain individuals โคshe and other accusersโข named wereโ never contacted by investigators.
