MAGAUX-LAHAYE. The daughter of Jean-Luc Lahaye, Margaux, has been indicted in the case of rape of minors which targets her father.
[Mis à jour le 25 janvier 2022 à 16h01] The Lahaye case takes a new turn. Margaux Lahaye, daughter of the singer implicated in a case of suspicion of rape of minors, was indicted on Monday January 24, 2022 for “subordination of witnesses”, reveals franceinfo. The same day, she was heard by the investigating judge in charge of the case. Arrested and placed in police custody on Wednesday November 3, like her father, Margaux Lahaye is suspected of having “pressured” the two young women in order to “force them into silence”.
At the end of November, facing the investigators, the 37-year-old young woman had “admitted to having contacted Roxane (one of the complainants, editor’s note) to guide her in her statements to the police, but under pressure from her father”, explained then The Parisian. Margaux Lahaye assured that she “did not know anything about the accusations of brutal sexual intercourse” and said that she had been “manipulated and instrumentalized” by her father. According to her testimony, Jean-Luc Lahaye would have been violent against her: she then evoked “strangles with bare hands.”
Arrested Wednesday November 3, 2021 in Paris, with her father, suspected of raping minors, Margaux Lahaye had been released for “health reasons” in the evening of the same day “because of her disability”, specifies The Parisian. Aged 37, she had become paraplegic after falling from the second floor of a building in September 2021. The eldest daughter of the singer accused – among other things – of rape of minors, was heard by the police on the grounds of “bribery witness” and “complicity in rape”.
Margaux Lahaye was taken into police custody at the same time as her father, accused by two young women of sexual assault between 2013 and 2014, when they were minors, still according to Le Parisien.
Margaux Lahaye is the first of Jean-Luc Lahaye’s two daughters, born of his union with Aurélie, at the height of his success in the 1980s. In 1984, the year of his birth, the singer even dedicated a song to him ( “singer dad“). The people press reports that Margaux Lahaye is a model with the Metropolitan Models agency and that she shares many pictures on her Facebook and instagram. Fashion photos but also family photos with his father. The second daughter of Jean-Luc Lahaye, aged 34, follows a more discreet course, in the shadow of the star.
Jean-Luc Lahaye has already been convicted in morality cases. In January 2007, the Paris Criminal Court fined him 10,000 euros for sexual abuse of a 15-year-old minor. In May 2015, he was again sentenced, this time to a one-year suspended prison sentence, for corruption of a 15-year-old minor. This second case, relating to games of a sexual nature by interposed webcams, would be linked to one of the two alleged victims who accuse the star today.
Asked in 2019 on C8 about these convictions, Jean-Luc Lahaye confided that Margaux Lahaye and her sister had suffered a lot from this situation: “They did not experience it very well. Already, concerning this case, the daughter ended up admitting that she had lied about her age. And how can you tell you that in a nightclub, at 3 a.m., to tell the difference between a 15-year-old, 16-year-old, 18-year-old, or 20-year-old girl, I I’m still unable to do it today,” he admitted.
Margaux Lahaye would nevertheless have remained one of the main supporters of his father when Jean-Luc Lahaye will face these legal troubles. The same year, on the night of September 22 to 23, 2019, she fell from the second floor of an apartment in the 17th arrondissement of Paris. The young woman will come out with many fractures. The circumstances of the tragedy and the excitement of the press will push Jean-Luc Lahaye to explain the accident on social networks.
