Patrick Bruel placed under strict judicial control with travel ban and compulsory therapy

On 10 June 2026, French singer Patrick Bruel was formally charged with rape, attempted rape, sexual assault and harassment involving four women for incidents between 2008 and 2019. Instead of pre‑trial detention, a judge ordered a strict judicial control measure.

The control prohibits Bruel from leaving France, contacting the alleged victims or their families, and from entering massage‑salon establishments. He must also undergo compulsory psychological monitoring and provide proof of compliance. A €500,000 bail was imposed, and any breach of the conditions could lead to immediate detention.

The investigation remains ongoing under the authority of the French investigative judges.
