French singer and actor Patrick Bruel is in police custody as investigators question him over allegations of rape and other sexual offences involving multiple women. Prosecutors in Nanterre, in the western Paris area, say at least 13 women have brought claims of rape, attempted rape and sexual assault. Several outlets report that additional complaints are being added to the case: the Guardian and France 24 state that two new rape complaints are filed during the investigation. Bruel, 67, denies the allegations, according to multiple sources. The New York Times and other reporting describe the claims as spanning years, with some allegations dating back to 1997. Police question him as part of a broader inquiry into the reported conduct. France 24 Europe adds that he remains held until Wednesday, following his detention on Monday. The allegations have not been tested in court in the reporting provided, and authorities have not issued findings on the claims.
