French authorities have taken action in response to serious allegations against prominent film directors Benoit Jacquot and Jacques Doillon. Both men were detained for questioning in Paris following accusations of sexual abuse. Actress and director Judith Godreche, now 52 years old, has formally accused Jacquot of rape and Doillon of sexual assault during her adolescence, which both directors vehemently deny.
Godreche has described a disturbing dynamic with Jacquot, alleging that he exerted control over her starting from when she was just 14 years old, a relationship that persisted until 1992. She also accuses Doillon of misconduct on a film set where she worked with him.
Additionally, actress Isild Le Besco, 41, has accused Jacquot of raping her over a period spanning from 1998 to 2007, beginning when she was 16 years old and he was 52. Another actress, Julia Roy, 34, has filed a complaint against Jacquot for sexual assault, describing a prolonged period of coercion and abuse.

Lawyers representing Jacquot and Doillon have emphasized their clients' presumption of innocence and questioned the necessity of their detention for questioning, arguing that the incidents alleged by Godreche occurred decades ago and that legal standards for detention were not met.
Godreche, who has emerged as a prominent figure in France's #MeToo movement, expressed deep emotion on social media upon hearing of the directors' summons by police. She posted a poignant message alongside a photo of herself as a teenager with Jacquot, highlighting the gravity of the situation and her resolve to pursue justice.
The allegations against Jacquot and Doillon come amid broader reckoning within the French film industry regarding allegations of abuse and the perceived culture of impunity. This has included accusations against other prominent figures, such as actor Gerard Depardieu, who has denied all allegations against him.
In response to these revelations, there has been growing pressure for accountability and reform within the industry. In May, the French parliament approved the creation of a commission to investigate sexual and gender-based violence within the film and cultural sectors, reflecting efforts to address longstanding concerns and support victims coming forward with their stories.
