The judicial future of Pierre Palmade darkens. Indicted for “aggravated homicide and involuntary injuries” for the serious accident he caused on February 10, targeted by an investigation into his consumption of narcotics, the 54-year-old comedian must now face charges that exceed the sordid.
According to our information, cross-checked with concordant sources, the man who made a report to the police regarding the artist’s pedophile inclinations made disturbing revelations. After calling on Saturday 17, this former acquaintance of Pierre Palmade, named Patrick and aged 28, was heard the next day at the premises of the minors protection brigade (BPM) of the Paris judicial police as part of an investigation opened urgently by the Paris prosecutor’s office for “possession of child pornography images”.
To the investigators, the young man claims to have heard Pierre Palmade boast during a conversation of being able to “have” a seven-year-old child and another nine-year-old to satisfy his sexual inclinations. Above all, he swears that the comedian showed him pedophile images on his cell phone on January 14. On the other hand, this man named Patrick declares that he does not have the films in his possession. His phone was nevertheless seized for exploitation.
Computer equipment seized
Investigations are underway to determine if the accusations of this man are true and are not the result of fabrication. The person concerned, who says he is depressed, would have performed sexual evenings with the comedian. Judges and investigators take his testimony very seriously. Media would indeed have been recipients of incriminating videos for Pierre Palmade, sequences of a child pornography nature which would accredit the suspicions of child pornography. We would see the comedian not in the presence of children but in the process of viewing sequences featuring children. It is, however, at this stage impossible to date these videos. The question of the timing of the denunciation also raises questions. Why didn’t the witness come forward earlier?
In this part, the police officers of the BPM are determined to investigate quickly. A search was carried out on Sunday at the Parisian home of Pierre Palmade, in the 3rd arrondissement. Investigators seized computer equipment. A second search was launched on Monday, this time in the house of Cély-en-Bière (Seine-et-Marne) of the artist, according to a source close to the investigation, which confirms information from BFM TV. The actor should also be quickly heard by the police, probably under police custody.
In the meantime, the comedian has been placed under house arrest in an addictology department of a hospital in Villejuif (Val-de-Marne) with the wearing of an electronic bracelet as part of the investigation into the accident in the Seine. -et-Marne. But the Melun prosecution has appealed this measure and is calling for his imprisonment. A hearing to decide on the actor’s freedom is scheduled for the next few days before the Paris investigating chamber. But as part of the child pornography investigation, Pierre Palmade once more exposes himself to detention on remand if the charges are proven.
