French actresss Judith Godrèche has filed an official police complaint against Jacques Doillon, accusing him of two counts of sexual assault in the 1980s when she was a minor. She recounted how Doillon, 79, had sexually assaulted her twice, once at the house of the late actress Jane Birkin. She described his “mind-boggling” behavior on the set of his 1989 film ‘The 15 Year Old Girl’, in which she played the lead. She was 15 at the time and he was then in his 40s. Doillon had fired the actor originally hired for the role of the father of the heroine’s boyfriend who falls in love with her, and taken it himself.
Godrèche, 51, had also filed a complaint against director Benoît Jacquot for “rapes with violence of a minor less than 15-years-old”. She lived with Jacquot for six years and appeared in his films ‘The Beggars’ and ‘The Disenchanted’, before leaving him in her early 20s. She was 14-years-old when the relationship began while the director was 40 and that she was “under his influence”.
Actresses Anna Mouglalis and Isild le Besco also accused Doillon of sexually inappropriate behavior.
Mouglalis recounted how Doillon had tried to force himself on her after a dinner in the summer of 2011.
Le Besco accused Doillon of sexual blackmail saying he had dropped her from a promised role in his 2001 film Carrément à l’Ouest after she refused to sleep with him.
