Laurent Boyer Gets 10-Month Suspended Sentence for Harassing Ex-Partner

The Paris court issued a stiffer sentence than requested to mark the gravity of coercive psychological abuse.

Overview

  • Former TV and radio host Laurent Boyer, convicted Monday in Paris, received a 10-month suspended term for harassing his ex-partner.
  • Judges found identity theft for a fake Facebook profile and the sharing of an intimate tattoo photo, reclassified as a sexual image offense.
  • The court acquitted him of physical violence for lack of material proof and cited a pattern of denigrating, coercive behavior dating to 2018.
  • Penalties also include a two-year bar on eligibility for public office, a three-year no-contact order, and a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation of the victim.
  • The punishment tops the prosecutor’s request, and his lawyer said they may appeal as he remains suspended by RTL.
