These two journalists come out Anatomy of a predation*, Result of months of labor to satisfy the potential victims, to carry out checks and overlaps. It is overwhelming, in additional methods than one.

The 75 -year -old man right now visibly used a effectively -established approach to lure his younger victims, whom he noticed in any means, in anywhere, so long as the prey appears to be like barely main. Insatiable, looking out, baratineur, the psychiatrist was doing its market, whatever the aspirations of the targets.

Young targets even amongst these round him

“Three baby-sitters, three former girlfriends of her stepson, a friend of her niece, a friend of her partner’s sister and finally Muriel Sachs, the daughter of his colleague and friend, director Alain Sachs. Among them, Narjess, a love of vacation of his stepson, filed a complaint for a rape that would have been committed during a hypnosis session, at Club Med in Hammamet, in Tunisia, while she was 15 years old, “erect the 2 reporters, who counted 80 girls whose detailed testimonies implicating Gérard Miller. Half of the acts would have taken place between 2000 and 2004, they’re subsequently largely prescribed.

The predator Modus Operandi? Engleting the “girl” of messages, of candy sentences, for a particular objective: to deliver it again to its mansion. To those that believed to have dinner on the restaurant or have a drink throughout the day, he mentioned that he needed to spend his cats along with his cats, that there could be his spouse and daughter, that he had forgotten an necessary doc, this little detour was needed …

Here they’re coming into the lair of the psychoanalyst, an excellent home full of woodwork close to the Place de Nation, which he had apparent pleasure, perverse would now say, to be visited. Afterwards ? Why not a hypnosis session in “the Japanese room” of the huge residence. Many girls relate to having discovered themselves half bare, Gérard Miller above them, the pants down, the wandering hand. The most mature, just like the actress Marianne Denicourt, understood from the outset that, when somebody you whisper “your body is lying on the hot sand, you are naked and you feel the heat of the ground and sand invade your body”, you needed to stir. Others, usually essentially the most fragile, inexperienced, had been unable to flee the lure.

Behavior denounced on the Paris-8 school

Beyond these testimonies which display an obsessive habits and a deep contempt for the so-called weak intercourse, the curiosity of the work lies within the try to know why and the way Gérard Miller was capable of act so lengthy. Journalists have dug every enterprise sector of the double character. Brother of Jacques Lacan’s son -in -law, Miller was an influential member of circles and psychoanalyst networks.

Miller will never be worried or even questioned, and it is Anne L who will get her transfer. Notoriety, no waves, no complaints from students … We know it that he is heavy, but how can we imagine that he is so dangerous?

When it becomes a public figure, on television at Drucker or in the band of Laurent Ruquier, the reasoning seems identical. Yes, he flirts with girls in the audience, yes the technicians have decreased him with a nickname related to this “heavy” practice, but no one suspected anything. Drucker refused to express himself and Ruquier performs laconically. The feminist Isabelle Alonso, mocked for her blindness in this case, agreed to receive the two investigators. She swears it, she has not noticed any reprehensible behavior of her now old friend. Blindness of the time, no doubt.

When he appeared on a television set on January 10, 2024, to justify himself of the documentary he made in 2011 with his friend Benoît Jacquot, in which the latter boasts of using the cinema as a cover to seduce young girls, Miller then finding nothing to complain about, he apologizes. Here he is which vigorously defends Metoo, “a fantastic motion”. “That night, with out figuring out it, Gérard Miller made the primary error in judgment of his profession, blinded by his ego and a sense of whole impunity, the mental didn’t measure the anger that rumbles amongst girls.
