French jazz pianist Jacky Terrasson has been placed under formal investigation for alleged sexual assault of a minor, according to Le Monde.
The alleged victim was six years old at the time of the acts described in the complaint, the report said. Terrasson has also been given the status of assisted witness in a separate matter concerning alleged rape of a minor under 15, involving the same child.
Legal process ongoing
The available reporting does not specify when the alleged acts took place, when the investigation was opened, or what response, if any, Terrasson has made to the allegations.
Under French law, being placed under formal investigation ('mis en examen') indicates that a judge has found serious or consistent evidence suggesting involvement in a crime, though it does not constitute a conviction. Assisted witness status is a lesser procedural designation.
No further details on the legal proceedings or a response from Terrasson's representatives were included in the available reporting.
