Béziers Prosecutor Opens Sexual Exhibition Probe Into Patrick Sébastien

Prosecutors opened the case after new footage surfaced, with the TV host due to be questioned in late April.

Overview

  • The Béziers prosecutor confirmed to AFP that Patrick Sébastien will be heard at the end of April and that multiple videos from the event are being reviewed.
  • Prosecutor Arnaud Faugère assigned the preliminary investigation to the Agde police precinct.
  • The episode under scrutiny occurred on 22 July 2025 at a naturist campsite in Cap d’Agde, where a spectator knelt before the performer in a staging suggestive of fellatio.
  • Sébastien and his lawyer maintain the act was mimed, while campsite managers and reporting indicate the show was billed as a family event and that minors were present early in the evening.
  • The inquiry follows Mediapart’s initial revelations and a referral by Osez le féminisme, and the offense of sexual exhibition carries potential penalties of up to two years in prison and a €30,000 fine.
