"Investigating magistrates on Thursday charged the 77-year-old with abusing the six women between 2000 and 2020, including raping three when they were minors over the age of 15, the Paris prosecutor's office said. He is also being investigated over the alleged rape of another minor in 2000, it said. Miller has been banned from practicing, coming in contact with minors or appearing on television."
"A first legal complaint was filed early last year. "Following the initial complaint, around 20 women gave testimony to the judiciary, describing scenes of a sexual nature after a hypnosis session, an alcohol-fuelled evening, or under the pretence of professional meetings," the prosecutor's office said. They were aged 14 to 25 at the time of the alleged assaults or rapes, it said. Several cases had to be dropped because of the statute of limitations, it added."
"Elle magazine and the Mediapart website early last year reported on accusations that Miller committed sexual offences from the 1990s to 2020. They said he invited students and young women in television audiences to spend time with him and tried to assault them, often after giving them alcohol or hypnotising them. Miller has said he "never forced anyone", and has denied practising hypnosis in his office or at home."
Investigating magistrates charged 77-year-old psychoanalyst Gerard Miller with sexually abusing six women between 2000 and 2020, including raping three who were minors over 15. He faces a separate investigation into an alleged rape of another minor in 2000. Miller was banned from practicing, contacting minors, and appearing on television. A first legal complaint was filed early last year and around 20 women subsequently testified about sexual encounters after hypnosis sessions, alcohol-fuelled evenings, or under the pretence of professional meetings; victims were aged 14 to 25 at the time. Several cases were dropped due to the statute of limitations. Miller denies the charges.
