The Quesada case in brief
The Quesada affair had erupted with the complaint of a young underage girl who explained that she had chatted on the Internet with a boy pretending to be a minor and asking him to undress, to send him naked photos, and openly proposing to him sexual.
Subsequently, hundreds of compromising images and videos of minors and children undergoing rape and sexual assault, which he exchanged with other Internet users, were found on his computers.
His life had to be adapted for the screen
Nicknamed “the professor”, Christian Quesada had marked the viewers in 2016 and 2017 by chaining nearly 200 participations in the program Les 12 coups de midi on TF1. The 50-year-old native of Ain had been on the air daily for six months and had won more than 800,000 euros, part of which was in gifts.
At the RSA before his participation in the TF1 game, this single father of two children, whose life had changed radically following his victories, had published his autobiography in 2017 to tell his story.
The life of this man, who has distinguished himself in other game shows such as “Numbers and Letters”, was to be adapted on the big screen at the time, according to several interviews given by the interested party to the press.
