00:08 Former leader of the famous band he was once called, the singer Richard Dawey, now 77, will still face justice.
00:21 He is accused of corruption of a minor and sexual proposals made to a minor.
00:28 Mainly known for his hit song "I still dreamed of her", which is still regularly broadcast on the radio almost 50 years after its release in 1975, the former leader of the band he was once, Richard Dawey, has not yet finished with justice.
00:47 The 77-year-old singer must appear in court on September 18, 2023.
00:58 Initially, the musician was to be tried in immediate comparison on Friday, August 25, 2023 for corruption of a minor by a person in contact with the victim by an electronic communication network, and for sexual proposals made to a minor under 15 by a major using an electronic communication medium and followed by meetings.
01:23 Finally, Richard Dawey was placed in temporary detention by the Court of Appeal in the latest days of his trial.
01:33 The defendant has claimed a delay for his defense, in order to be assisted by his personal lawyer, rather than by a permanent lawyer.
01:45 A request to which the president of the court has therefore agreed.
01:52 The charges against Richard Dawey would have been made in recidivism between March 25 and March 28, 2023.
02:02 According to the information revealed by Le Parisien, the singer would have come into contact with a teenager through a dating site.
02:13 The nickname of the victim on this famous site suggested that she was only 13 years old.

02:35 Having scheduled a date with this false teenager on the parking lot of a grocery store in Croissy-Beaubourg a few days later, Richard Dawey was found, to his great surprise, facing gendarmes.
02:51 Richard Dawey, already sentenced to prison with a high sentence in 2019, is not the first time that the singer has to face justice.
03:03 In October 2019, Richard Dawey was sentenced by the Court of Appeal of Paris to 18 months in prison with a high sentence for sexual offences committed against a minor under 15 by a major using an electronic communication device.
03:21 An affair in which the musician had been released in the first instance a year earlier by the Fontainebleau Court of Appeal, before the court called for this decision.
03:34 The facts judged in this case date back to February 2015.
03:41 At the time, Richard Dawey had contacted a 14-year-old teenager on a website, before being questioned by the authorities.
